Well, if you were to cash out now the landowner's land is worth $60,000 and your potential cache is worth . . . zero to you. Because it belongs to the landowner (if it is there at all). He's purchased it with the land and paid property taxes on it. 50/50 is pretty generous. He's losing half of what he already owns and is entitled to in the eyes of the law (unless it's a stolen bankroll or some such) and you're gaining something additional to what you now have.
If he's got cable and watches the latest crop of treasure hunting shows he's probably already out there trying to find it.
