    Interesting that picture is a stock picture as stated. Looks to be all Gold $20 USA double eagles in the picture so the find will not be as good as the picture suggests

    These stories allways have simar outcomes, why cant people just keep quiet and lay low for a few years when they discover these little treasures.

    No they have to blab to the media, goverment or get greedy and immediately try to sell, resulting in them losing all (or a good part) of the find, justvkeep quiet people !!!

    We may not ever hear about the people that actually remain quite, there could be many untold finds being kept secret. For example I found a London Good Delivery gold bar that fell out of an Armaguard truck last week, I have not told anyone . . . oops
