The people who unearthed the stash on their property could owe nearly half of the $10 million value in federal and state taxes.

I have a very small family. I would tell them and likely a couple close friends.

Until it was safely in the bank I would tell no one. I would not tell many afterwards either.

I say good for them... the only things I've ever discovered in my yard were some buried squirrel nuts and some hidden dog poo. {#emotions_dlg.blush}

Sooo...you have found treasure!!

ROTFL!!!! Poor Mr. Squirrel

I'm thinkin I should watch more movies, so I can get peoples' movie references...? {#emotions_dlg.unsure}

I have a problem sitting still through movies...no idea why...

Sorry, it was reference to finding "your nuts" in the yard instead of coins. it's a pirate treasure.{#emotions_dlg.blushing}

Oh, okay...I thought there might've been more to it...you know...like a meaning that only moviegoers were chuckling about while I'm sitting here like an idiot, with this face: {#emotions_dlg.huh}.

{#emotions_dlg.lol}

croemer.....thinking it would only be between my attorney and me. And I would wait to tell my attorney until I had it stashed away in a safe place where no one could get to it.

I can't imagine the government wouldn't demand a piece of their treasure.
