Did anyone catch the news this morning about the $10 million worth of gold coins found in California by a couple walking their dog?

Unbelievable story, I'll bet their are a few disgruntled prospectors in the area wishing they had of swung the MD's around the area.

That's the sort of thing dreams are made of... Lucky buggers

That's nothing - I found a rusty nail the other day. I am trying to see if it was used to put together a holy cross or something, but when its verified, will see it for billions

Mwahaaaa cough cough Hahhaaaas

Errrrmmm I wish I could of found that too.

I can't resist... 120 silver coins.

My last treasure found before leaving France, it is only silver, not cleaned, just after I found them in the cold ground (it was snowing that day):

And that is nothing compared to some of my friends.
I'll try to dig up some pictures.

Page 39 of the March edition of the Gold Gem & Treasure magazine tells stories of years gone bye, 1926 & 1930.
249 sovereigns in one haul. 508 in the other.

What dreams are made of.
