I'm a scuba-diver and qualified marine archaelogist with a long-standing interest in archaeology and history.
I used Google to find suitable lay-descriptions/citations for the topics I already knew about (UK law on treasure and maritime law on salvage), and to understand more about applicable laws in the USA.
