Asks for permission to go on people's fields, digs up old shit like Viking jewellery, medieval crap, grenades from wars etc. and then the Finnish government takes anything of real value away, after which they may pay him a small reward. Then those items he found are placed in some storage room under a museum never to be seen again.
