Axe-hammer from Copper Age and other discoveries

[yo6oej]

📌The artifacts were isolated and discovered in a large area, near a ridge road, which crosses an old forest and are from several historical periods :
➡️ a.) Prehistory - Copper Age :
Copper axe-hammer, approximately 4,500-4,000 BC, in perfect condition, belonging to the Tiszapolgár culture. By far the oldest metal object I have discovered (6,500 years old !!!);
➡️ b.) Iron Age - 2nd Iron Period (La Tène) :
Knotted iron fibula, fragmentary (probably Celtic);
➡️ c.) Roman Antiquity, 2nd-3rd century :
Iron fibula, fragmentary;
Iron hammer;
Jews harp (musical instrument), fragmentary;
For those interested, the photo scale on the ruler is 1 cm, and photo editing to dimensions is in millimeters.

Amazing recoveries and great research on the dating of the artifacts.
So what happens to these items now?
Keep or turn them over?

Supper cool finds.

In Romania, when I was there, the government wasn't organized like us for good antiquities cataloging and displaying. That was pre-EU entry.

I remember in Novi Sad, Serbia some of the workers were taking the old roman coins and selling them. That was after the war, and they hadn't been paid in a while.

The artifacts were given to Romanian state institutions according to the law.

Is there any type of reward system for treasures?

There are rewards in the legislation for those who request and proceed legally.

Well, since 2000 in Romania there are laws that allow metal detecting, except for archaeological sites. As in any country where this is allowed, there are also voices that are against it, but if the law is respected, everything is ok. In Serbia, if I know correctly metal detecting is prohibited.
