This depends a lot on the local laws about artifacts. In most of the world it would belong to the landowner. Museums may try to strongarm their way into preserving it, but most of the time they have no legal authority.

I know in the UK they are required by law to report all finds. But i don't know if they get anything for it. It really depends on the country.
