Kobe, a kid working a summer construction job in Belgium whose crew found a buried stash of gold worth €9M or 10.5M USD in today’s money, is the inspiration for this question. I’m assuming in that event, half goes to the property owner and it’s 4 construction workers and a foreman splitting the other half. The rightful owner has 5 years to claim according to local law. What would you do while you wait that out?
Try not to get upset that it will drastically depreciate in value in those 5 years instead of me getting it now
FWIW the scenario I’m basing it off of is in the gold value, so nothing certain but it could possibly move with inflation.
