Hello All-
First, I realize this isn't the proper place for this question, but I also know that this is the most widely read thread on the site so I figured I might have the best odds of getting an answer here. Please forgive me for the misplaced question.
Anyway, I'm doing some research for a paper for college and need to know what type of permission was required during the late 1950s to early 1960s to hunt buried treasure (gold) on a Federal Wildlife Preserve. Also, if it was even possible to get permission, what did the government require of a party that actually found old outlaw gold? I'm sure they wanted their share in income tax but did they also want a cut of the loot? I'm hoping that back then things weren't as onerous as they are now with Big Brother. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
