    No Randy,
    Uncle sits and waits, and when you make a big find as Charlie says... rapes you for 30%. and that's if you are lucky.
    There have been instances where the finder ended up with the pictures he took .....and that's all.
    Uncle is not one to work. You get to do that, uncle takes, and takes, and takes etc.

    Re: Ever struck it rich?

    No I haven't, not the the "big one". I found a letter from Einstein taped to the inside of a book which I sold for 1600, and there have been a few nice coins and relics along the way, but not the job quitting "big one". But if I did find it, and it was something particularly cool (like a chest ) I have a feeling that I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation, and I'd probably be lame enough to post it. It would be a toss up though whether or not I called Giraldo first for the "grand opening".

    Re: Ever struck it rich?

    I found something that made me about $2500 richer,I found a lottery ticket blowing in the wind,took it home and went to the web site and found out it was worth $2500,the problem with that was I still owe the IRS $1200 from past taxes.
