[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1420214, member: 29581"]Okay the thread is getting off track here so let's end the arguing and innuendos. There are many possibilities that exist as to how and why these coins were buried where they were. Could they have been stolen? Yes it is possible they were, perhaps a long time ago, but definitely after 1964 since there were numerous 64 quarters in the bunch. Could they have been stashed? Yes, that is also possible, and for reasons that may never be known. Anything is possible. Regardless of what many feel on what the finder should do, the fact remains that in most states, and N.Y. is one of them, there is an obligation for the finder of property, which these coins are and were at one time, to make an effort to locate the rightful owner and if after a said effort is made, and a certain amount of time has passed since finding the items, N.Y. says 30 days, then ownership can be claimed by the finder. An ad has been placed that the items have been found, and yes the ad is vague for obvious reasons, in order to insure that anyone claiming ownership truly is the rightful owner, by describing not only what coins, and where they were found. It wasn't my intent to began a major debate over right or wrong, but only that my brother and his buddy stumbled across these coins, and how lucky they were. So let's get back on topic of the find, and end the debate and insults over doing the right thing, and what the right thing to do would be.[/QUOTE]
