But I've seen some on TV... and know that e.g a depth PI found a very important thing in Germany... it become public domain cause the people found the stuff tryed to illegally sell it and then german police captured them and recovered the "treasure".
Also I've seen just about 1 month ago that 2 THs in UK (dad and son) found a very interesting Viking's "treasure"... many gold items, but also iron relics... using just MDs. Now stuff is at British Museum.
So, actually people found stuff of great value using MDs. And there are pictures.
There are at least 20 examples of public domain huge discoveries made using MDs, of enormous historic-scientific (and economic) value.
But you are right on this point. There are few big discoveries made with MDs that become public domain... respect maybe to the actual number in the world...mostly cause many countries' legislation make explicit prohibition to "normal" people /THs of making researches with MDs or just even of own an MD !
In places like UK, mostly England is not so rare that people that found stuff show that cause it's completely legal there searching/recovering and even selling stuff... if some rules are observed (e.g. the "Treasure Act" rules).
