If you found a famous treasure

[hikeinmts]

I have the right to remain silent.Anyone i tell can use it against me.

I would keep my yap shut and piece it out a bit at a time at different locations.

You got it right.

I think it would help the rest of us not to have to work on a treasure that has already
been found. One way would be to tell the story to one of the Treasure Magazines
as long as they maintained your anonimity. I have personally found evidence of
recoveries at 3 supposed treasure sites (none of them in print) and know 6 other
recoveries by friends, again not well known stories. If you happen to be working on
the Beale treasure take a look on the net and see the pictures of the supposed cave
that it was placed in. Maybe a treasure author could write a book of recoveries and
finders could report to him. It could be called "Ghost Treasures, Here Yesterday,
Gone Today."

You know, I thought about this a little more. If I found the treasure behind the Cave With The Iron Door in the Wichitas, I would shout it to the world. On here, I would post some very vague photos, or say I didn't have a camera yet. I would demand the local media come out and cover this story and when they showed up, well, I wouldn't. There would be reasons I couldn't lead them to the recovery site. After a lot of posturing and demanding my posts be reinstated on TN, I would be pretty much be branded as a fraud and charlatan by all, and then could do what I wished with the treasure I actually found.

lol oh thats easy ..............I'd tell my family an since I'm only 11 miles from the border ,I'd become Mexican within an hour an sittin on a beach watchin the Baja sunset within 3 hours ......never to been seen again.

I love this website and like most of the folks on it ..... I have never posted so much as a picture of a silver dime .......
If you are so much in need of someone else's approval ; go ahead and post a great find ......I guarantee that you will get more attention than you ever thought you deserved .

Ya know, I am a little offended by this statement! I don't post my finds because I am "in need of someone else's approval". I post my finds as a means of sharing the hobby. From reading other peoples posts, I have learned a lot about where to look, and how to research. Seeing their success shows what works and what doesn't. YOU enjoy coming here and reading, because people share their finds and stories. If EVERYBODY did just as you do, then this site wouldn't exhist and we couldn't be having this conversation. Don't bother sharing your pictures.....just keep coming here and enjoying ours.

Never ! There are always the jealous vindictive sorts that will try to stir up trouble for you anyway they can. Then you have the gov't types wanting to figure out a way to steal YOUR FIND !

Then you have family members who pretend to be nice that wouldn't be otherwise.

There are only 2 that would know, me and "the other person".

The other person will know who they are.

Is it a mannequin that comes alive at night?

IMO, the "other person" is her husband or BF. I interpet the username itmaiden to mean SHE (i.e. maiden) is working for some company as an IT geek. Just my 2 cents, I guess.

My stepfather who is hard working and successful in his own right, imparted some nuggets of wisdom with me when I was a young lad. He said, work to become wealthy, not rich. Money will make you miserable in the end. He also said if I couldn't help to come into money, there were three important people you must have to keep your money and turn it into wealth. He said hire yourself the best attorney, the best doctor and the finest accountant you could.

So having said that, my answer would be I'd have to tell at least four folks - those three and my wife!

Money will make you miserable in the end.

OR....To quote Tony Curtis:

"When I was a kid, I was the victim of the most vicious propaganda. People told me that money wasn't everything and I believed it. Then I found out that the people that were telling me that money wasn't everything were the people who had a lot of money."

RGIN my friend: You have no idea just how 'close' you are. You can always claim various reasons, such as lack of permits, health, finances, or bandits etc., for supposedly not recovering it. If any authorities, or whomever, come around bugging / investigating you, you can always claim an extremely overworked imagination, or just plain fibbing to impress your TN friends or the world. . 'Eventually' you will be awarded the same status as the Shepard boy that called "Wolf" too many times, or simply a classic BS type.. That is when you move, no-one will notice you then..

Of course you would remove a bit every so often to meet livng expenses, but no show purchase.
