I live in Turkey. I can confirm Turkey allows diggings if you can show proof you are capable of doing it. Leading such missions are mostly left to the academy for this reason. There is also a policy which I had the chance to witness it being forced which is if you encounter a historic finding when you farm your land or build a building, you are enforced to give up so that the land can be investigated. Most of the time, such land is never given back to the owner. They are compensated in some other form, depending on the type of ownership claim.
