I read this news story the other day. Damn.
The way I read it, there was more than just one can. They saw the edge of one sticking out of the ground, dug that up, and found others around it. Here are some facts I learned:
1. There were about 1200 coins in total, some very rare with high numismatic values.
2. The couple actually reburied the coins in a cooler before they called a coin dealer. I would have brought them right into the house.
3. Even after all these years, the gold looked untarnished. Gold is gold...!
4. I think the total value of the find is over 10 million.
5. It's the biggest buried treasure find in recent history, maybe ever.
6. I'd like to know who buried it, and why...
