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. "I don't like to say once-in-a-lifetime for anything, but you don't get an opportunity to handle this kind of material, a treasure like this, ever," said veteran numismatist Don Kagin, who is representing the finders. "It's like they found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/02/2...-million-in-rare-coins-while-out-walking-dog/ lucky gits

10...9...8... Counting down how long it'll be until its 'expropriated' (seized) by the highly indebted California state government. Maybe on the basis of illegal mining laws still on the books from the California gold rush.
A friend posted the link on my Faceybook and someone wrote "it's not like they can buy anything with it" :lol:
Also in Holland big news, wow what a find, send our dog outside immediatly to dig (and find gold stacks too) ;-)
