HEY! You haven't been here long enough to be so authoritative-like! You gotta be here from the last century to qualify as a genius.

Dang! I read the headline three times before I noticed the word "hoard" wasn't "board".

So wouldn't the plural of dufus (being masculine) be dufi? And girls who are dufuses would be dufa and dufae.
Mica, mica, parva stella!

"Another (theory) is that it was profits hoarded from bootlegging during Prohibition."
...so the Kennedy's will be laying claim to this booty.

Look at that that guy who found a sunken galleon full of treasure. It was in litigation for years. Which guy? Mel Fisher found a Spanish galleon in Florida waters, and the state claimed the bulk of it. Tommy Thompson found a U.S. gold shipment from the CA gold rush in international waters, and spent half of it (if not more) fighting off lawyers from every insurance company in the country.

HAHAHA! They'll be lucky to keep any of it, after ten years of the state and fed, and assorted and sundry claimants, hacking away at their find in the courts. Shooda just stutted up about it, and sold it piecemeal to private collectors. AMEN
To: bitt
I'm not sure about that Latin. I think we need some Latin experts but they're probably over on a thread about the new Pope.

Back then, Greenbacks were not only worth something, but they also conveyed American symbolism with dignity and beauty.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Take the money put it in ziplock bags, sell it 30 to 50 notes at a time 3 to 4 times a year at coin and money shows. Take cash and pocket it quietly.

And more then one would duffettes?
FWIW - here's an update on the story, just on TV. Apparently they guys are in deep duffetta. Apparently they are supposed to report any found money within 2 days. So the Methuen police are considering charging them. Welcome to MA. (sidenote: this has only been reported on Fox news 25. The other channels seem to ignore certain types of stories, and this is a good example. Can't have people thinking how dumb the local government is and look to make changes)
