Eight Pots of Gold
Everyone dreams of finding buried treasure like a pirate. For this anonymous couple from California, that dream became a reality. They were out in the backyard with their dog when they spotted the top of a metal container filled with coins. Turns out this was just one of eight metal cans.
The cache of 19th Century gold coins was valued at a whopping $10 million. The area known as “Gold Country” was where people rushed to try their luck during the 1849 Gold Rush. Only a few pieces were kept by the family while they offered the rest for sale in an auction.
