Quisiera llamar la atención de todos los que participan por aquí para dar a conocer una información que creo importante y relevante con el tema de este hilo, quizá muchos ya lo hayan visto.
Encontré un hilo abierto hace un par de meses de un usuario que clamaba haber encontrado una billetera de papel en la playa y para más asombro: cargada con BTC 0,6.
La discusión inicial del hilo se baso en formas teóricas de que hacer con los fondos, como de volverlos y la legalidad de conservarlos en caso de ser imposible encontrar el dueño original.
This sounds horribly unethical. The coins don't belong to the OP. The original owner might have a backup and might try to move the funds once they notice that their paper wallet is missing.
La conversación da un giro brusco cuando se encuentra con una segunda wallet de papel, poco a poco se llega a la conclusión de que todo esto es un elaborado scam, básicamente fishing en la vida real, reemplazando la carnada típica de correo spam urgente con una wallet cargada en una pequeña bolsa plástica, aún no tengo 100% seguro como funciona la trampa, si quieren más información, lean el hilo.
Desconfíen de toda wallet que se encuentren "por casualidad".

I know how this sounds,.. but I swear it's true... I saw and picked up what I thought was an odd looking piece of card in a dbl sealed plastic pocket whilst walking my dogs! The card inside was wet but legible and after drying it out I discovered it was a paper wallet (I have no idea about bitcoin or wallets aside from what I have discovered over last 24hrs,... which has led me here).
The paper wallet has 0.6 BTC. Some strange things have been known to wash up on this beach. I suspect it was stolen and dumped by an ignorant burglar. It's there any way to identify from whom it came so I can return it? It seems pointless handing it into the police if they'll just destroy it....
I am in Victoria, Australia.
Thx

But since there's no way to know who they belong to, keep them for yourself and / or sell them.

I am not sure if this is directly connected with case of OP finding paper wallet or if this was posted before, but there is very similar situation happening in Melbourne, Australia.
This appears to be scam attempt with QR code with a key to access the account with alleged 0.62 BTC which can be withdrawn.
Printed address starting with 1LMy3... has total deposits of only 0.15 BTC if you look in blockchain explorer, and coins are flagged as fraudulent or scams.
This was posted on Bitcoin reddit channel, it's called “Printkey Wallet” and this is how it looks like:

Very similar amount and country like in case with OP.
