What is the ruling on what should be done with a golden cross found on the road?

The gold piece found on the road is considered a Luqatah (found item), and the cross shape does not prevent its retrieval. It must be publicly announced for a lunar year in places where its owner is likely to be found. After the year has passed, the finder may benefit from it, with the guarantee of returning it to its owner whenever he appears. It is permissible for him to break it and reshape it, but it is not permissible to use anything that contains a cross in a forbidden way.
