[Rockhounds] Finders Keepers: Woman finds 4 carat yellow diamond in state park

[Dora Smith]

If it fell out of someone else's jewelry it belongs to them, and she'd 
better return it, or face legal and possibly criminal consequences, as 
well as becoming deservedly unpopular. If anyone who knows her liked her 
already.

If it came originally from the ground, then I can't imagine how the term 
'finders keepers' applies unless the state claimed it belonged to them 
as owning the land it came from, kind of like neighbor kids picking 
berries on our land when I was a kid.  But nothing like that is stated 
here.  And since the subject line should have been explained in the post 
if one exists, I'm not going to the article to see if there is more.

Yours,

Dora Smith
