How the fuque does a judge come to that decision???

The people that found it loaned it to a museum and the museum contacted the landowner where it was found. The landowner was under the impression that the state was going to determine ownership and it rocked on for a few years before the landowner decided to seek ownership on his own. By that time the statute of limitations had ran out. Which I think was only 4 years.
