Not really archaic - if this was valuable stuff washing up on shore, the law would still be relevant.

Inb4 this is some archaic law that says all booties washed ashore belong to the monarch or something

Man…I had no idea the monarchy was so into lathered up clean butts!

They still belong to the owner is the issue at hand, I believe. I.e. taking them would be theft.
The issue is that the owner is easily known.

There exist an archaic law like that, but it doesn't include all booties, only 'Royal Fish', and imho it would be a stretch to consider bananas as whales or sturgeons.
This case would be under maritime law. Iirc the cargo still belongs to the shipping company if it fell, but would be a 'finders keepers' if they threw it overboard. But I'm not a lawyer (sea lawyer?), I think this is for recoveries at sea, when it's already on shore local laws might apply instead, idk...

OBJECTION! Bananas are the most regal of fish.
