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
