Was Indiana Right?
In the movie, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", we get to see a young Indiana Jones in the beginning. He is seem stealing the Cross of Coronado from some guys. His reason for doing this was, "it belongs in a museum". Does this make it right? As far as I'm concerned, those guys were digging for treasure and they found it. Is Indiana Jones right simply because he is Indiana Jones? I don't think so. Indiana was wrong. Those guys should be able to do whatever they want to with their findings.

There is one slight problem with your line of reasoning. The people "searching" for the Cross of Coronado were grave robbers, not archeologists, nor treasure hunters. Now, I grant you, the line between grave robber and treasure hunter might be a fine line, but there must be a distinction somewhere.
Certain items and objects have an innate historical or cultural significance and thusly belong in a museum.
