Usta be, the cops would let you keep it, if no one claimed it in a certain time, but with civil asset forfeiture, they assume any large sums are connected to crime and confiscate it (or worse, they might suspect that the “finder”, you, are trying to use “finding” the cash as a way to launder it)
$100K is way too much. Someone is tracking that or setting it as a trap or it’s not real money. As a woman, I would have to be VERY cautious picking up something this temping that could be laced with a drug. I’m not trying to be trafficked. 10K is suspicious but with the right circumstances and safety I’d take it.
