If i found a ancient coin hoard buried in my backyard could i keep a coin or two when i donate it to a museum?
Absolutely not. I think that this is probably a joke, but depending on where you are, it's also illegal.
I am against private collections and the desire to own the material past. Keeping any item from a discovery is incredibly unethical and would earn you the permanent animosity from archaeologists, museum workers, archivists, curators, restoration specialists, and pretty much anyone else who belongs to a scientific study of the past.
I know that you probably meant this as a joke, and that this was not the answer you were expecting. My firmness is not in any way personal. I cannot stand for the humor about topics that are essentially looting, because humor serves to legitimize the act.

It's fine if you suck. Do it anyway.
