Greetings everyone,
I'm glad to participate in this Sci-Fi community weekly prompt, “Spaceship.”
If I discover a gold in my backyard while digging, I will be so happy about that. But what I will first do is tell those labourers I hired to dig the land that they shouldn't tell anybody about what they see. I will also make a deal with them that anyone who brings me a buyer for this treasure found in my backyard will be paid a good amount of money.
If this scenario happens, I wouldn’t inform anybody — not even my friends — because I know that if I inform any friend, he or she will also tell others. That’s why I will keep it to myself. Then, I will start finding ways on how the gold can turn into money for me. I will also ask around if anyone knows any minner anywhere. If anyone asks me why I am looking for an minner, I will reply that they shouldn’t worry about that.
This kind of thing has happened to my friend’s father before. It happened when my friend’s father bought a piece of land for farming. My friend’s father is a big farmer because he usually uses a tractor for work.
One day, his father went to the farm to plant maize seeds on the land he bought. When he started putting the seeds into the ground, he discovered that there was something valuable there. He began digging the land, and after some hours, he discovered gold. He couldn’t tell anyone, not even his wife. Later, he went to his friend who was a miner and told him that he wanted his son to learn the work of mining. His friend replied, “No problem.”
To cut the story short, his son started learning the mining work. A few years later, when his son had understood the work, he took him to the land, and together they mined all the gold on the land. Till today, they are billionaires.
Thanks for reading.

Gold is one thing for sure, but if you find something like a spaceship is a totalluy different story!
Telling anyone at all can be dangerous. Even those labourers.
Seeing something like that will always give me joy and i will hide it
It is one thing to find such treasure and another thing to have control over the minds and tongues of people. When one is aware, he will tell his friend and ask his friend to keep his mouth sealed; his friend will tell his friend and ask him to seal the secret, and that is how it will circulate.
Except you are the only one aware of the secret.
But your decision is yours to make, though. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
