Treasure-Trove, in Law, derived from the French word trouver, to find, called in Latin thesaurus inventus, is where any money or coin, gold, silver, plate, or bullion, is found hidden in the earth or any private place, the owner thereof being unknown; in which case the treasure belongs to the king; but if he that had hid it be known, or afterwards found out, the owner and not the king is entitled to it.
