Well, it's technically federal property.

It is on state property. That't why they had to get a federal seizure order before they dug.

Also true. The dirt belongs to the state, but the gold belongs to the feds.

Ah, yes. The gold is the property you're referring to.

I thought it was interesting that people suspect gold has been found and removed in secret. If everything was above board, why all the secrecy.
