<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lon Chaney, post: 1184466, member: 29844&quot;]That&#039;s an interesting story.&nbsp; So I suppose the question is whether Seafarer John buried them long ago, or if it was John Doe buried them 70 years ago when he was afraid that Mrs. Doe was going to take his fortune.&nbsp; Right?&nbsp; </p><p>US Law says that something found older than a certain age (50-100 years? Something like that?), is property of the government, technically.&nbsp; So older coins that are metal detected, and also arrowheads and the like (which my grandpa found a number of, but I haven&#039;t seen any dug) are property of the state, if they ever came to collect.&nbsp; Maybe Australian law is similar?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
