Ok, if you want to proceed down this line of reasoning, consider the
following ethical test, if you pass you get to keep the gold.

    1) You buy a house, you invite your friend over, he finds a kilo
         of Cocaine stuffed into the couch and happens to work for the
         DEA. Do you:
                a) Admit that it is yours because after all you
                   bought the house and to 10 - 15 years in federal
                      prison?
                b) Exclaim loudly that you didn't know it was there
                   and help them track down the previous owner.

If you answered 'a' you get to keep the gold map.
