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.

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

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%.

Northern California fishing guide Jack Trout, who is also a historian and collector of rare coins, turned up the news of the theft.No one likes a tattletale, Jack.

Yep, if I ever find a lost treasure, its going to be converted into cash or goods, and as far as history is concerned, its going to stay lost. Even if melting the queens jewelry down with a propane torch in my garage.
And having seen “No Country for Old Men”, if I ever find a bag full of money, the bag gets left behind and every bundle of bills gets broken apart. THEN, it gets buried in the ground for a few years while I decide what to do with it.
