    As far as I know and remember, in Germany the “Finders Keepers” rule fully aplies on the beach. So if you find something (you are allowed to own) wached up on the beach, you can keep it. And the owner cant do anything about it. A couple of years ago, someone found a container with a motorcycle - and was allowed to own it.

    …

    Looked it up: They changed it in 1990 - sad :<

      In the UK you must take reasonable steps to return anything you find to the owner.

      If you can’t return it to the owner it’s yours.
