This chapter is also about daily life, and I'll write about a new case tomorrow.
...
Aside from the Gold Coins, the chest also contained golden goblets, golden rings, golden bracelets, and other items.
The monotonous look of the gold led Luke to speculate that it might also be related to the location of the treasure.
Forest Finn probably worried that lake water would seep into the chest and spoil the treasures, but gold's chemical properties are quite stable, and it doesn't react with water.
The next step was to figure out how to divide these golden products.
Reeves had a small weighing device in her car, and after weighing the gold in batches, they found that the total weight was 18.6 pounds, meaning each person could get 6.2 pounds of Gold Coins.
To ensure a fair division, they weighed the gold multiple times to achieve as even a distribution as possible.
The process from opening the chest to finishing the distribution of the Gold Coins took almost an hour.
