When I was between ages of 9 and 13 y/o, to actually find
a real treasure ‘chest’ would have been a dream come true!
I would not even have told my parents or friends until after I had hidden away a certain amount for future use.
And not a moment before.
I would have obscured the trails and given anyone else misinformation. All this if no witnesses.
The kid didn’t find the treasure chest. He found a surface coin that led to an investigation by the archaeologists who found it.
