I Have Always Fancied Ago,

at treasure hunting,



using a metal detector, and had been reading a few articles about them, when I stumbled upon this article where the couple that found the treasure did not need one, until later, it is the Saddle Ridge Hoard, while taking their dog on his daily walk across their property, a couple noticed a partially buried can jutting out of the ground, using a stick, they were able to dislodge the can and decided to carry it back to their house, 

the can was unusually heavy, but nothing could have prepared them for what they would find when they pried the lid open: mixed in with dirt and stones, they could see the edges of numerous U.S. $20 gold pieces—a literal pot of gold! repeated trips to the site (and the help of a metal detector) eventually uncovered a total of eight cans filled with over 1,400 rare U.S. gold coins,

and today how much could this all be worth? well if you click onto the link in 2014 about $10 million! now where do I buy a metal detector?
