That is a good question! And the article has my mind racing! Could you imagine coming across an old tree studded with wheats, mercuries, barbers & seateds?!?! Not as fun as digging them maybe, but I'd be out there through the night plucking them bad boys out!!!!!

Oh yeah, I kept them. After tromping around the woods for hours on end, I'm keeping anything I find as long as they'll let me. And I'm with you Joe. If people have fond beliefs that are fanciful and not based on fact, then I'm there pulling them from the wood too! You want to leave silver and gold in a tree in the woods because you "HOPE" your wish will come true, then you really are delusional. Magic is still magic and Tinker Bell may live under the elusive Chanterelles, but 2+2 still equals 4 and you simply can't beat the math.

LOL, Ed!!! That reminds me...
A buddy used to work at the mall years ago. I asked him what happens to all of the coins that go into the 'wishing ponds' the malls have. He laughed and told me that's biggest sucker game in town. One of the biggest cash cows for the malls. Said they have to empty it out quarterly. He told me they can take in over $70,000 or $80,000 PER YEAR in change!!!!!
