Yep, I had a feeling something like this might happen. Hopefully the folks are well-represented and can stand up to any potential grab by the state/feds that might be coming.
Apparently the two people who found the coins didn’t.
I didn’t. Finders keepers. But then I would have given serious thought to not telling a soul about what I found, too.
There is something to be said about our country boy living. “ Shoot, shovel, and shut up.”
You have to tell someone if you want to sell them (though not the 'how you found them' part).
Never tell nobody nothin about nothin.
Does anyone besides me have a problem with the following statement? I can’t make the math work right for some reason-
“There is certainly compelling evidence to link the two bounties. According to 1901 reports, 500 coins were stolen by Dimmick - only 73 coins less than the 1,427 discovered at Saddle Ridge.”

Don’t Freepers search before posting anymore?
The U S under Roosevelt criminally went off the gold standard in 1934 or so. This was a major violation of the Founding Father’s intent plus the intent of the Constitution. They have no right to put airs on this couple now!
Why, may I ask?
Wouldn’t the statute of limitations have run out by now?
I think the statute of limitations just keeps them from being able to prosecute you. It doesn’t transfer ownership.
Dunno, melt it down and become incredibly wealthy, and under the radar I might add, or preserve history?
I suppose it all depends upon the circumstances at hand.
“There is something to be said about our country boy living. “ Shoot, shovel, and shut up.”
I like the way you think brother!
I would think so. I have sold gold American Eagles before, and I wasn’t asked where or how I got them.
If the coins are the ones stolen by Dimmick, why did’nt he come back for the coins after he had served his nine years?
The math would work out if there had not been a typo and “more” instead of a “less” in the sentence.
500 stolen - 73 = 427 found.
