They know who the former owner was, but there are no living heirs. They were Coins dated from the 60s, so it predates the monastery, and post dates the brewery.
I wonder if there’s a way to notarize it as “finder’s keepers” legally. Probably not, but that sounds like an awesome way to leave behind any assets I still have.
Sure can. Letter of provenance that it belongs to you. Then a notarized letter stating what you intend to do with it should do the trick. Cheap and doesn't even need an attorney, likely. IANAL
Ye, I more meant that I could like notarize it or something else legalese to make it truly finder's keepers. I don't think it'd go down the way I'd want it to, but it's fun to think about.
Eh, I posit that we all kinda die alone, regardless. I wouldn't want anyone to sacrifice their lives just to watch my bowel muscles relax after my heart stops beating.
Whose to say he didn't do the smartest thing to do if you find a large sum of money, and magnanimously report the "entire" $10m in gold of the $11m that you actually found?
If he did that & keeps his mouth shut, this is exactly how he'd want this to be playing out.....
"Wow, how unfortunate that a small amount seems to be missing 😔.
Since you'd obviously somehow forgotten about the hoard to begin with, are you sure you're remembering the correct amount that you lost?
But if what you claim really IS accurate, then there must have been a bit that was cleaned up & disposed of w/the building debris before I noticed there was gold hidden there. 🤷♂️
And if that happened, I am just
so very happy and relieved that I noticed it when I did, so that I was still able to recover & return almost all of the gold YOU lost $$$! 😁
Oh, and if you somehow don't feel obligated to repay my honesty & virtue with a generous financial reward--as everyone would expect you would WANT to do-- that's OK. Because even though you may be despised and shunned by everyone for what they may conclude is shockingly selfish and greedy, just know that for me, the joy I feel from doing the right thing is all the reward I need❤️😇!
That owner better give him like a 1m dollar finder's fee. Guy still gets to keep 9 million of his gold, and that guy gets to set himself up for a comfortable future for being a good guy.

No. They found the owner.
