This is what happens when finders cannot keep their mouths shut.

When I was 7-8 years old, I lost a quart jar of US silver dollars. I was playing 'find the treasure' when I lost track of them and a sudden downpour washed away the sand in the ditch where I had buried them.

They may still be there somewhere but a housing subdivision and an asphalt road was built over the site years ago. So....

I have a friend who has a metal detector who wants to go looking.
Hey, silver is close to $50 an ounce these days.

If I found something like this, I wouldn’t tell any dammed body.

Whoever owns the land where this loot was found should take 50% and hand over the other half to the finder(s). If the land is public, I want at least one of the coins! :-))

This is BS. They should have been the property of the guy who found them. Total BS.

Everyone, learn a lesson here. Do not go to the government with them.
