Whilst I feel a little for his case and understand he regrets being careless with the key, his life isn't determined by the cash. Is this the best use for your finite time on earth?

He is the est example of a person consumed by an idea. It is pretty sad. He cannot let it go.
I don’t know how much time he’s spent collectively on this over the last 12 years, but it’s $770M. I think he could spend a moderate amount of time on this and it would be reasonable. Me? I’d have no problem checking in on the situation like once a year. And if I was feeling confident, buying + excavating would be the best ROI decision I’d ever make
