Free New BMW engine and gearbox
Get yourself down Branscombe beach in Devon!
Perfectly legal too aparently as long as you register what you have salvaged.

Yup, I was just wondering how many ebay auctions are running as either "job lots" or "water damaged" in Devon at the
minute!

Branscombe "Hot Deals"
Actually it is illegal! A salvage contractor had apparently already been named which means everything that is on or has come off the ship is their
property.

Same rules as diving I would assume, all findings must be reported to HM register of wreck and belong to the insurance company.

its martine law which is nothing like most laws to do with owning stuff. i do know that if you salvage a boat its your if the owner doesnt pay you for
saveing it, you also have to be the first to get there

The police have invoked an old law to keep people off the beach now, the roads to the beach have also been blocked according to the news website as
teams of looters were coming from far and wide with no intention of declaring their finds.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

IMHO it doesnt really count as salvage, its obvious where its come from so by 'retrieving' items you arent actually helping the owner,
more hindering in fact. If you declare them, the owner will claim his goods and you get paid for the recovery, which again IMHO should be nothing
because if you had left the stuff on the beach it would've been claimed just fine.
People wonder why this country is shite but then go out like a bunch of thieving pikeys and swipe stuff that isnt theirs....
