<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 8205367, member: 77639&quot;]In the US, I presume if you find coins on your own property that unless someone else has a substantiated prior claim, they&#039;re yours.&nbsp; Interesting question is your tax situation.&nbsp;&nbsp; Do you owe income tax on the coins?&nbsp;&nbsp; If so, do you owe it in the year the coins are found or the year in which they are sold?&nbsp; And if you owe tax, are the coins considered ordinary income or a capital gain?</p><p><br /></p><p>Could the coins be considered a mineral like native gold nuggets are?&nbsp; If so and someone else owns the mineral rights to the property, do the coins belong to them?&nbsp; BTW many home and farm owners would be surprised to learn they don&#039;t</p><p>own the mineral rights to their property.&nbsp; We own 1/2 the mineral rights to our ranch, which is unusual, and have no idea who owns the other half.&nbsp; The mineral rights are an entirely separate deed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
