In 2013, a couple from Sierra Nevada, CA found an old canister in their yard, sticking out of the ground. Inside were gold coins. When they kept on digging, they found more over a dozen canisters, totally put to almost 1,500 gold coins. Once appraised, they were valued at close to $10 Million. It’s assumed that the previous owner buried them for safe keeping, then either forgot, or passed away.

Not bad for an afternoon’s work.
