definitely sounds like a crime scene and not really a suicide if you get my drift...

he probably pissed off someone.

that type of opportunity needs to be avoided... a badger will not have family to press charges.

lol Sounds like the badger left the scene. Maybe he was out looking for a wheelbarrow.

Did the badger also find the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch along with the coins from Antioch?

Those badgers can now hire themselves out as treasure hunters - or maybe kept the treasure for themselves and away from greedy humans!

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

At least the badger had the good sense not to lead the FBI to the discovery.

Treasure hunters who believe they led FBI to huge cache of fabled Civil War-era gold in Pennsylvania sue the agency for failing to reveal what they found in secret excavation four years ago

Every time a hidden hoard of coins is found, I wonder what happened to the person who hid them, and why they could not come back to dig them up.

Now the problem is finding someone who is willing to reach in and take the coins away from the badger.

LOL!

Thanks oldvirginian. Some ne'er do well may see this, head to Spain, then tail him to the treasure.

Okay, so, no rimshot for me.

Obviously, the badger’s family was in on the original heist.

Poor guy was just claiming his inherited loot after things had “cooled down” enough.

The person who buried must have been killed later on.

Sometimes factors will prevent you from returning to pick up your stash.
