Ex-GI Sues Army Over $150000 Found in Vietnam Cave
Donald W. Morrison, a former sergeant from Argyle Georgia, discovered $150000 in U S currency tied with vines in a cave in South Vietnam in 1968.

The defense argues the Army retained possession as finder for the government, and Morrison’s claim lacks jurisdiction or a valid legal basis.
