I’ve made a note to myself, that if I ever fine $10M worth of old gold coins buried in the ground, to keep my mouth shut about it.

I figured the government would find some way to confiscate the find.

No, no. All they have to do is prove that they aren’t stolen and they get to keep them. /s

Yep,I see the state and the feds stiffing around for some free cash!

Stolen property is stolen property. It doesn’t become someone else’e property simply because they discover it where the thief stashed it.
To: bigbob
They made the calculation that
numismatic value - taxes > value of gold bullion - no taxes.
However, they didn’t bargain that the “taxes” would be 100%.

If I had lived in California and found it, I would have gotten a moving van and an attorney in the state I was fleeing to.

LOL! I would not doubt it, and I’m serious. I read an article where they were thinking of charging them because they did not immediately report the find. It was probably just an attempt by the Marxists to steal it until they came up with this “theft” stuff, but it would not surprise me in the least if charges are brought against them.
To: GrandJediMasterYoda
I said to my son when I first read this....the zer0 government’s gonna claim it somehow. better to melt it into ingots and lose the numismatic value than lose the whole thing...

Mooch saw the coins and came up with an idea for a new necklace and matching bracelet.
