<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1408566, member: 15199&quot;]You seem to imply that the &quot;original owner&quot; of this treasure is alive.

It might be better to consider trusts or other tax deference mechanisms. Hopefully the land you dug is still owned by the alive relative, or other problems come into play. Even if you think you can keep it all in the family and no one outside will know, and look for a &quot;whistle blower tax reward&quot;, it often happens.&nbsp; I would not post on any forum more information that could lead to you until I had contacted all lawyers and received some legal opinions as to how to keep some of the treasure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
