Greed rears its ugly head. Guess there is some dispute as to the
distribution of their newly found wealth. The following excerpt is from
AP wire.

But Crebase and Billcliff disagree about who controls the treasure,
estimated to be worth as much as $75,000.

Crebase, 24, says he's the one who made the find and has the final say
about the money, though he'll do what's best for everyone.

''I'm the one who found it,'' Crebase said. ''Without my decision,
nothing's going to happen.''

But Billcliff, 27, said that's not true.

''If one penny is spent, we all have to agree on its use,'' he told The
Associated Press in a separate interview on Wednesday. ''The truth was,
I handed him the shovel, I told him where to start digging.''

Despite the dispute over who controls the money, the friends appear to
agree on what they should do with at part of it: putting some of it
into Ingham's rock band, called Till We Die. Both say the band, which
Crebase described as ''aggressive rock,'' can make it big with some
help.

''Once they get big, they're going to take care of me,'' Crebase said.

''I'd rather burn the money than cause problems between me and my
friends,'' Crebase said.
