As a general rule, when you find objects that you know don't belong to you, they can be handed in to the police or a lost property office if you found them in a public place, like a bus or train.

If the find is sold, then the proceeds are typically shared between the finder, assuming you had permission to be on the land and acted in good faith, and the landowner (who may be a person or organisation). However, there may be additional claims made by someone who occupies the land as a tenant of the owner.
