Wednesday's Words: Treasure Trove
Today's term comes from the Glossary of Connecticut Property Law Terms:

Treasure Trove: "consists of coins or currency concealed by the owner . . . . It includes an element of antiquity . . . . To be classified as treaure trove, the property must have been hidden or concealed for such a length of time that the owner is probably dead or undiscoverable." Benjamin v. Lindner Aviation, Inc., 534 N.W.2d 400, 406 (Iowa 1995).
