The largest treasure hoard ever found in the United States was discovered by accident. While walking their dog, a man and his wife saw a piece of metal sticking out of the ground.
After some scraping with a stick, they unearthed this metal can containing 170 gold pieces. More digging and seven cans later, their trove was worth ten million dollars.
Where did it come from? Was it stolen loot from a stagecoach or bank? Was it buried by a rich but eccentric miser who didn't trust banks?
Can they keep it all? Can they keep ANY of it?
And why did they wait a year to report it?
