Being serious, is this only in the UK? If...ahem... I.... a person bought an old house and while remodeling, (built in the 1930’s)and found $10,000 in the walls, about $60,000 in stocks and MANY silver, gold and antique coins must I...ahem... someone give them back to the person I... ahem... that person bought the property from? Isn’t it part of the property bought?

My son bought a bungalow in the suburbs of Detroit. When he tore out the sofit in the kitchen a bag of silver coins fell on his head...He sold them and was able to put new windows in the home...The owner of the house before him was always finding money (via a neighbors knowledge) He found many hiding places in the floor, but all were empty. Sections of the hard wood floor had been cut and removed, with money hidden under the floor and the wood replaced, covered with carpet..

He had just under 2000 dollars in silver value plus a couple of old silver dollars. That was 2 years ago and silver was much lower in value than today...

I would say finders keepers, but I hve no idea what the law is. Easing them into circulation shouldn’t be too hard.
