To recover or not

Hi all,
What would be the reason why an aircraft wreck would be recovered. Is that it's rarity, it's historical importance or the amount of money that can be earned. In some cases the historical aspect would be more imporant such as the Halifax recoveries from Norway, a possible Stirling from any fresh water lake, but I'm sure that if a complete Lancater was found intact at the bottom of a fresh water lake, there would be no interest to recover it in one piece and restore it. But if a German type was located it would be raised almost immediately?
Does this mean that aircraft are only being recovered for money and will there be in a few years time a surplus of say 109's and will everything come to a standstill?
Cheers
Cees
