A treasure trove may broadly be defined as an amount of gold, silver, gemstones, money, jewellery, or any valuable collection found hidden underground or in places such as cellars or attics, where the treasure seems old enough for it to be presumed that the true owner is dead and the heirs undiscoverable. However, both the legal definition of what constitutes a treasure trove and its treatment under law varies considerably from country to country, and from era to era.

The term is also often used metaphorically. Collections of articles published as a book are often titled Treasure Trove, as in A Treasure Trove of Science. This was especially fashionable for titles of children's books in the early- and mid-20th century.

Terminology

Treasure trove, sometimes rendered treasure-trove, literally means "treasure that has been found". The English term treasure trove was derived from tresor trové, the Anglo-French equivalent of the Latin legal term thesaurus inventus. In 15th-century English the Anglo-French term was translated as "treasure found", but from the 16th century it began appearing in its modern form with the French word trové anglicized as trovey, trouve or trove.

The term treasure trove or trove is often used metaphorically to mean a "valuable find", and hence a source of treasure, or a reserve or repository of valuable things.

Q. Galaxy Galconda is a subsidiary of Castle Galconda. I'm looking to run one of their beta testing groups and I need at least three more on-line players who check their e-mail frequently and are experienced RPG players. Here's an exerpt from the game. The Slums The slums are riddled with gangs, smugglers, thieves, and occasionally the nice guy who works at the store. The slums are a treasure trove of hackers, suppliers, thugs, seedy nightclubs, illegal genetic labs, and much more. Every planet may not have a slum, but in every civilized commerce world and even large non-military space stations you can find a slum. Each has its own separate brand of gangers and nightly haunts; but all have similar traits. Gangs, are based directly on their… [cont.]
