Many of you may be familiar with the movieNational Treasure. For those who are not, here is the IMDb editors summary: Benjamin Franklin Gates descends from a family of treasure-seekers who've all hunted for the same thing: a war chest hidden by the Founding Fathers after the Revolutionary War. Ben's close to discovering its whereabouts, as is his competition, but the FBI is also hip to the hunt. [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368891/plotsummary]. After the war chest is found, Ben was offered 10% of the treasure's worth as a finder's fee, however, he believed the amount was too high and took only 1%, split it evenly with Riley. The treasure exhibits were donated to the Cairo Museum.

What is a treasure trove? How would you classify the property? Who do you think should own the war chest once it was found - Gates, the government, etc. and why/why not?
