You Found The Treasure Cache - Now What?

[Terry Soloman]

You were detecting in the woods behind a well known organized crime member's home, in a wealthy suburb of New York City, when you got a sweet signal and started digging. This is what you found - Lots of One-ounce gold coins. Now what do you do?

I'm answering assuming you are a pirate, digging without permission. If you are asking as a citizen, the answers would be different.

1. Resist the urge to post this to TNet.* "Banner" probably feels awesome, but would be cold comfort when confronted with a couple of guys from "waste management" equipped with pliers, a blowtorch, and a desire for information.
*If you've already posted to TNet, see 2.b.

If you have been an effective pirate, and managed to recoup loot without much likelihood of detection:
2.a. Do nothing differently for a couple of years, besides paying for an indoor storage locker for all your #very heavy# old appliances. Use that time to develop an exit strategy that is air tight and sustainable.
3.a. Enact strategy and make hearty pirate sounds as you please for the rest of your life

If you have been an ineffective pirate, and there is a good chance of some form of discovery/recognition
2.b. Restore items to former underground safekeeping
3.b. Find religion?

I was thinking that they should go to your house and let you hide them out. maybe take them diving......

It really sucks when you come up from a nice dive...

And the boat is nowhere.

They are... just a little stale is all.
Try one :P

 

[boogeyman]

The old old saying applies here.
1. Dig it up
2. Put it up
3. SHUT UP!

It's an old saying but it is still true even after hundreds of years.

Read through the accounts. Guy finds big treasure. Boasts of finding it to boost his ego. Long long line of people at his door to claim it. Court or Govt. steps in to settle the issue. Court takes treasure, all settled.......

Don't go to any house with plastic sheeting on the floor.

Is this crime member, dead or alive? If he is dead, do not worry, if he is alive, do not tell anybody, but in either case, sell the coins through a coin auction. Great picture. Did you do research or just looking?

I think that is the funniest thing you have said yet.

Still hope for you. :P
