dustin43160 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 and if say someone would find treasure they would have to pay taxes on it or give it back right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hey Matt, is your storename - LostDutchMan related to this? In addition to coin accounts, stories abound of lost silver (mostly) and gold mines in Arizona. The legend of the Lost Dutchman Mine at Superstition Mountain is a staple item in the folklore of the state. Hm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Odd nothing mentioned about Al Capone's supposed hidden money. There was even an expose on TV some time ago where they opened a secret vault of his but nothing there. Supposedly Big Al hid millions in cash ,Gold and coins somewhere.

Dan769 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 On the bottom beneath the sparkling waters of Silver Springs, near Ocala, are coins tossed by tourists including, perhaps, some dating from the 1920s and 1930s or even earlier Art, get your snorkel and dive in!

CoinAuctions Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 My dad had the opportunity to find the rest of a buried "treasure" trove. The family had a map, and found some of it, but couldn't find the rest. After a couple of hours digging into galvanized plumbing pipes, exactly where the map showed coins where buried, dad finally gave up. Later, the family sold the land to a local Realtor for development of a an apartment complex. When the bulldozers dug up the pipes, guess what was underneath? Yes, mason jars full of silver coins. The total was supposed to be $20,000, but that was what was reported. It was closer to $60,000 and this was in the 70's! Dad has never been the same since. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just how many actually think that when a pile of money if found buried that it is reported? I don't think 99% of what is found in the ground is ever reported to anyone. I was working on a construction site not long ago where a road was under construction. One construction worker showed me a bag of coins he had accumulated during the excavations. Some Gold, most Silver and many unknown. Even his boss didn't know about them. Why would anyone report finding money? I can see that now on an Federal tax form. "Income from found monies". Yeah, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I wish I knew a bunch of construction workers... especially those working on a 140-year-old campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 The construction site I was referring to was on a close to 100 year old roadway. Workers found many, many bottles and other items from way, way back also. Even old wood was taken away in trucks not associated with the organization doing the work. Found were some strange square blocks of stone that were also hauled away. A room was discovered underground made of wood and was also taken away by who knows who. There are lots of things under the ground that when found, just dissapear into some mysterious place and know one knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
