    If the coins where carted off the property finders keepers. Simple.

    Love this story, Because the laborer was honest with the store owner, I would say 50/50 is fair.

    Very nice story of treasure. Finders keepers on coins unless it is on some ones property than would go to the Owner of the property. The treasure Horde was not found in the United kingdom area where the ownership goes to the queen. According to the story the finder carted the dirt to his property which becomes his property. Since he involved the land owner of the wealth the remainder in the dirt pile of such would be land owners property unless he shared it with good faith to the finder. Just like permissions the land owner can change his mind at any time and keep your loot and have you escorted off the premises. Not always in stone is permissions. Thanks John

    That was fascinating! Thank you for sharing that story! I do think that the laborers honesty should be rewarded, and an even split seems fair to me.

    Awesome story and great history lesson! I hope we hear more of these I say it’s a 50/50 split with the finder and property owner myself.

    I love stories like this. We have a few in my town kinda like this. White men coming through running out the Natives, and where they did their valuables. Then when the Uncivil War came thru towns ppl hid their gold in caves. We have about 3-4 small,(I guess) caves and a natural spring, and the fault line, I’m thinking there’s still gold to be found!! But I’m weird like that. Great vid

    I think that if the labor had loaded the soil on to the cart then that which was loaded was his. That being said as the store owner did relinquish The removal of the soil as to his benefit and individual did put four steps to remove it at his expense the argument could be made that the laborer could have a call for loss on what remained in the pile. You are aware of the Wentworth treasure and treasure in Merrimack at the banks of the river where the Budweiser plant is

    Fantastic story / research Rivendell! I would love to find a cask of 1793 Large Cents.

    They should split them, because the laborer went back and said some thing to the store owner.

    Interesting bit of history . Well presented, love the photos. In a fair world the hoard would be split 50/50 . I think I’d like to find a container filled with one of every coin ever minted, lol. Thanks for sharing.
