If this Walter N. Dimmick stole the coins why didn't he recover them after he got out of prison? Maybe too risky? He already did his time for the crime, they couldn't send him back. Probably laws about spending the money? I couldn't find any information on him after his prison term.

They forgot rule one... keep your mouth shut. The IRS will be knocking on their door.

I agree, they should have kept the information to themselves.
The people who found the treasure think they can protect themselves by remaining anonymous. But, with a treasure of this size it's impossible to remain anonymous. Somewhere, sometime, somehow, someone involved in this is going to spill the beans.
Then, people will come out of the woodwork trying to file lawsuits and claim the treasure. It will take years to settle the lawsuits and the legal bills will be substantial. After everything is settled and the lawyers are paid, there won't be much left.

Thanks for the insight Digger. I read the second article and found it interesting how security was in the SF Mint. Nowadays you can't hardly trust your own family let alone your co-workers unless there is some sort of friendly trusting "relationship" involved. That brings the suspicion of inside jobs. That is all hypothetical though. I need to scrounge up the time to read the first one since I am interested in the laws of specific dates that qualify for treasure troves.
Those people just need to mind their business. It is not like they found the stuff on their property or would have had it to start with without that couple stumbling onto it. The couple deserve the majority in my opinion.

Does the words "Hard Evidence" mean anything? Looks as if they are ready to cast their stones with no right to do so.
