Lost gold coins true story I hope!!!!

Well-known member
A woman who works at the school I work for told a coworker I work with
Directly that her mother who's past now had burried a can full of gold coins
On their property she's now in her 60's.
She was a lot younger at the time but clearly remembers her mother burying
The coins!
My coworker detects and I got him into it he's very excited to go ask permission
To hunt the property only problem is it has new owners good thing is its only about
20 minutes from my home and his.
We want to know how to approach the new owners this can be a sticky point.
Thanks
 
Good luck with this new venture. I haven't hunted "permission" sites, though I would like to start doing so.
 
Well first..You have to be truthful ..Tell them what your looking for.. Maybe looking at the request of the ladies daughter might have an influence.. She could claim the rights and share with you if it is true..if they allow you to detect .......... She must have an idea where her mother buried them .. Don't get to excited just yet..It may be an urban legend story......Always a friend of a friend story.

If it turns out to be a serious story ..Contact a lawyer..have him negotiate the terms..

I hate to be a kill-joy, but I was thinking the same thing. In my 40+ yrs. of this, I too have heard many of the "we think grandpa buried such & such", or "I heard from as friend of a friend of a friend...." type thing. And oft-times, when you delve into it, turns out it's glossy eyed telephone game most of the time. And even if true: It's entirely possible it was dug up before the lady passed away. Doesn't hurt to try.

Only if the new property owner asks for this to be done. Otherwise, when you approach total strangers with contracts and talks of lawyers, .... that's simply the fastest way to get a "no". It simply conjurs images of hassles, risks, etc..... The average person will be equally as curious. And the average person is not a crook "bound to go back on their word", etc... So a handshake "50/50 split" at the start, that would be sufficient for me.
 
One Glitch and if story is true..someone could get greedy in a hurry.... and remember possession is 9/10enths of the law...LOL

To the extent that someone could "rip you off" and "renig on their verbal handshake deal" : If you got a "no" AT THE OUTSET, and .... hence, can't hunt for it in the first place, then .... this is all sort of a moot point. Eh?

So if my musing that talks of lawyers and contracts scares someone off (conjurs up images of hassles and legal stuff), then what have you gained ? Nothing :( Also: Let's be perfectly honest: You really don't even know if something is even there. So if you're hiring lawyers, drafting contracts, etc....: You're going to look pretty silly showing up at their door with some pulltabs and a clad dime saying : "Sorry, false alarm".

Thus a verbal "50/50" with a smile and handshake will suffice. I find that most people are not "greedy" and keep their word.
 
About the only person or person who will gain out of this are any and all lawyers who would be involved.
 
But you can find contracts [probably here or other detecting sites] and download/print them that will keep you fairly well covered.
But YOU being the one making the recovery have the most control about what is known about it.

Been there done that!
 
Knowing where treasure is and digging is two different things. Keeping treasure is another. By the time the lawyers, state, and IRS get done with you, there wont be much left. Move on and enjoy your life. Tell no one and maybe one day you will find the property abandoned.
 
Make sure you turn on the 'sound recorder' on your smartphone when getting permission and agreeing on the split of anything valuable, to play for the judge later on...
