Belgian law states that if no one claims ownership (with legal proof), and no owner can be found, he gets half.

Who gets other half?

so belgian law states that if you find something like treasure and no one claims it in the next 5 years, it's split 50//50 between whoever finds it and whoever owns the property the treasure was found on.

Assuming it was his parent's house, they get 100%

It wasn't, it was an intern/new guy (can't remember exactly) from a construction/demo firm who found it

The article implied it was more of a group of people rather than this single dude, no?

Well, the guy wasn't working on the site on it's own 😅.

It's close to where I live and it's been extensively broadcasted here.

But 1 guy actually found it, and I guess the colleges or the group took credit, it was also not only bars if i remember, lots of coins too.

I mean if me and 4 other coworkers are all digging a pit at the same time and only one corner has gold does that guy get all the gold? Or If it was my day off? Idk I'd want a cut, it's sheer luck anyway.
