Foreigners in Japan: Don't do this. Don't popularize it. It is potentially illegal. The video is unlisted atm, but I still want to discuss why you shouldn’t do this and introduce some basics of cultural property law in Japan below. /1
“Buried cultural properties" are lost items in Japan. Even when archaeologists excavate, artifacts are reported to the police and time must pass to allow for someone to claim them (Note: the video mentions the artifacts will be taken to a museum, which is the best practice.)

Not reporting items to a cultural properties specialist/police is considered a **theft**. And after the wait (3 months), those artifacts become the property of the prefecture. So, keeping finds is stealing from the state. I hope all those pieces were turned in! /3 Image
