Re: tow hook ?
Personally, I'd tell him what they are worth and offer to split the profits. I bet he will be tickled pink that you were honest and that he has (possibly) buried treasure.
(Either that, or I'd club him over the head and run away with the box. My mind's not made up on this one yet).

Re: tow hook ?
Honestly, since you posted this, shows that you feel guilty about it, so offer to sell them and split money with the guy.

Re: tow hook ?
Your honesty might bring you something more valuable than the bucks you make off the loot. Not many here can say they don't need a stand-up guy watching there back.

Re: tow hook ?
That is a quandry... Tha best thing is to let him know that their a hard to find item and you would like to pay him for them.
Just a thought, If you came across them at a swap meet and the seller wanted 10-20 bucks for the box, would you buy them and feel like you got a great deal or tell him to bump the price way up and buy two. We're all looking for a deal but we don't want to cheat anyone.
