Gold treasure hunt- How much share a person who discovered/ or heirs of King are entitled to ->
My understanding of law relating this issue is:
1) Treasure found underneath earth belongs to the State.
2) If treasure is found from land of your ownership, then State is bound to give certain percentage as may have been specified in law.
But in recent event, a person saw in his dream about treasure lying under some public land. How much share such person is entitled to is not specified in law.
The treasure may be belonging to some ancient King. But those states merged in India and privy purse was paid. So heirs of such kings may not have any legal rights.
