'Treasure Huntโ: Unclaimed property may be waiting for you
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. โ If youโre sitting around at home during the coronavirus pandemic, you might think about searching for treasure. Not buried treasure, but unclaimed property being held by the state. Radio personality Shane Collins said he got bored during the pandemic, searched FLTreasureHunt.gov on a lark and hit the jackpot. If I had not searched that website, I would not have found that money.โAlong with individuals, 1.3 million businesses have unclaimed property totaling nearly half a billion dollars. And fear not, if the state has already sold your treasure, youโre still entitled to the money that it brought in.
