Snip:
A Northern California couple out walking their dog on their Gold Country
property stumbled across a modern-day bonanza: $10 million in rare,
mint-condition gold coins buried in the shadow of an old tree.

Nearly all of the 1,427 coins, dating from 1847 to 1894, are in
uncirculated, mint condition, said David Hall, co-founder of
Professional Coin Grading Service of Santa Ana, which recently
authenticated them. Although the face value of the gold pieces only adds
up to about $27,000, some of them are so rare that coin experts say they
could fetch nearly $1 million apiece.


eh - something is wrong with this story. Another shoe is going to drop.
You don't find tin cans filled with gold coins in the 21 century under
the apple tree.
