but chances are it has already been found. I know of a similar story, and the money was found right away before the police found it.

.... or some bottom feeding lawyer / insurance company, etc will try to take away your rightfully found treasure. I wouldn't even tell family members other than a trusted wife! Heard too many horror stories. Good luck .... by the way, you could tell me ... HE HE HE! I won't tell anyone but Elson.

HELLO,YES I WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT BACK TO THE FAMILY...I AM VERY HONEST PERSON...BUT THERE ARE NO RELATIVES LIVING,I HAVE KNOW THEM FOR YEARS AND TOLD THE FAMILY ABOUT THE GUY WHO ROBBED THEM MANY YEARS AGO AND THEY WERE TOO OLD TO LOOK THEN.THE WAY I SEE IT THERES A 50/50 CHANCE AND THAT'S BETTER THAN MOST MAPS,LEGENDS,AND SUPPER TIME STORIES.....I CAN PUT HIM AT THE SEEN,BUT I DO NOT MUCH ABOUT THE OTHER GUY THAN HE SERVED 7 YEARS IN JAIL AND HAD NOTHING ON HIM FROM ROBBERY.THE GUY I WORKED SAID HE TALKED TO HIS PARTNER AND HE SWORE HE NEVER RECOVER ONE CENT OF THE MONEY BECAUSE HE BURIED IT AT NIGHT WHEN DRUNK AND OUT OF HIS HEAD AND IN A CORN FIELD....ONE THING HE DID TELL HIM THAT HE USED A FIVE GALLON METAL BUCKET TO DIG THE HOLES......I AM HOPING TO GET PERMISSION THIS WEEK TO LOOK AND 99% OF THE PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE ROBBERY............MORE TO COME!!!!!
