Buried on the property they've owned for years? I'd be surprised if they were prevented from keeping it, or keeping the proceeds.

Sorry, I should have also linked to this story I also saw.

It speculates that the coins are the same gold coins that were stolen from the US Mint in 1900 in San Freancisco. $30,000 of coins were stolen, and these coins have a face value of $28,000 and are in the same area, and the mint dates of the coins are a few years prior to the theft.

If those are the stolen coins, they might get a reward, but, my guess is they're boned.

If they get to keep them, then they are going to owe about 47% of their value in federal and state taxes. And they have 46 days to come up with the roughly $5 million.
