[QUOTE="deepblue, post: 160803, member: 1702"] This is what happen to workers who were digging fence post holes and kept the sovereigns that they found. If you find buried treasure trove, that is gold or silver objects such as coins, you will mostly miss out on keeping the loot. No matter who finds treasure trove, or where its found, there is an automatic vesting of possession and ownership not in owner, tenant or finder but in the Crown (i.e. the government). After two tenants of rural land in Victoria turned up old gold sovereigns while digging post-holes, they sold some of the coins. Because the pair had found treasure trove which legally belonged to the Crown they were later actually charged with stealing the coins they had sold.
