thats not my understanding of the process. you would be required to deliver the wreck to the reciever (if so requested) and she would then decide what salvage (if any) you were entitled to.
As I understand it the reciever (or her agents) is entitled to require that wreck is delivered to or handed over to her or her agents including using force to achieve that. She has apppointed the local police as her agents. therefore they may be able to prevent you from removing wreck from beaches etc.
Wrongfully carrying away wreck is an offence (which I think is different from the offence of conceeling (failing to declare) wreck). Likewise hindering or impeding the recovery of wreck is an offence - presumably that includes an individual taking it on themselves to recover wreck where a salvor has been contracted.
