I'll say B.

C, a trend now

edit: fun, but going to be skewed
are past found treasures based on tales to be included?
what time frames and which continents and which cultures?

I am lost.

edit 2: what about an archie who follows the instructions and finds treasures?
several times
thinking of a German here
a D seems quite possible

Your going to have to find them first, tell me how many cashes are there that are long forgotten...

gotta add a little wiggle to the lure

Can you revise "A" to "0-1%"? Even that seems generous.

Treasure stories are by their very nature going to be little more than folklore. "Real" treasure stories are probably only told once or twice, resulting in recovered treasure and closed mouths.

From my experience C

Those who find treasures who do no talking are the ones who keep them. So, who knows?
