So rather than being needlessly wordy, treasure trove is the etymologically complete phrase, misconstrued over time as a noun-noun compound rather than a noun followed by an adjective. Because of this, some historically minded quibblers even assert that theres no such thing as a trove.
A majority of state courts, including those of Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Oregon and Wisconsin, have ruled that the finder of treasure trove is entitled to it.
Trove is NOT a BBB Accredited Business. To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBBs vetting process.
Rewards for those items that are selected for retention by the State are paid to the finders by the Queens and Lord Treasurers Remembrancer, at the receiving museums expense, and are based on the market value of the find. After examination, articles not required for museum collections are returned to the finder.
Treasure Trove is BBB Accredited. This business has committed to upholding the BBB Standards for Trust.
