[QUOTE="H8_modern, post: 2113289, member: 28531"]Ownership is always the argument here and I really get sick of hearing it. The most honest thing to do is leave them in the wall for whomever put them there to retrieve them, even though they're most likely dead. The fair solution is for the finder and the legal owner (who simply bought a house and have no knowledge of the coins) to share 50-50 in the windfall. Unfortunately, once the legal owner sees the dollar signs, they usually stiff the finder. So unless you know the owner to be good people (which can still backfire), just leave them.[/QUOTE]
