I wanted to know if there are actually laws about this. Even if on your own property and you somehow stumble across some old Indian artifact in your garden, are you required by law to turn it in?

It really depends on where you live and what you find. In Texas, if you are on private land you are under no obligation to turn in the item. In Nebraska, you are only required to turn in the item if the state anthropologist concludes that the item belonged to a specific and recognized Indian tribe.
