That depends. Where did you find something? There are several laws pertaining to salvage rights, etc. However. If you found something like a modern wedding ring, or necklace, you could do the right thing, and turn it in, and if nobody claimed it; it would be yours. But again. It depends on where you find things.

i haven't found anything, the thought popped into my head because i remembered some divers found a boat full of 150 yo red woods on a ship that sunk in the great lakes when i was a kid. they claimed them and made desks, furniture, etc.
