The dog has a good case to get at least 1/3, but probably a lot more for sniffing the spot

[Hot Tabasco]

Some people just can’t keep their mouths shut.........They’re gonna regret that publicity.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

How stupid to say a thing! Yeesh!

[rabidralph]

And then there's this.

[Altariel]

Blast! I KNEW I should have buried it elsewhere.....

California couple finds $10 million in rare coins while out walking dog

Make total sense to me. I know a guy who lost $100,000 worth of guns and ammunition while going to the 7-11 to get a Slurpee.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Any of the coins those square California dollars?

[Revolting cat!]

I( gotta start praying to a different saint, the current dude is not delivering!

[Revolting cat!]

That’s too bad. D-I-V-O-R-C-E ...5...4...3...

[arthurus]

I can’t imagine why on earth they would tell anyone about it.

They plan to put most of the coins up for sale through Amazon while holding onto a few keepsakes. They'll use the money to pay off bills and quietly donate to local charities their Obamacare premium, Kagin said.

Quite possibly the dumbest couple in America. Chances are excellent they are Democrats.

Their dog is a GOLDEN RETRIEVER.

I had a local (senior citizen type) tell me that there is Rebel gold buried in the hills around us somewhere. They said before the Union army got here the locals buried all their valuables in the hills, and carefully noted where it was. After the war, whoever knew the location was no longer around. He said his dad and grandad used to spend time hunting for it.

I lived in California during the 1970’s, and remember reading at the time of another coin cache found in this same area.....the California Gold Country.

In fact, I was just thinking about this story the other day.

Apparently, someone purchased a parcel of land in the “Mother Lode” region of California. A previous owner.....either a doctor or a chiropractor....buried huge amounts of Morgan Silver dollars and “Peace” Silver dollars in old glass jars on the property.

Over time, these glass jars broke and the dirt on the property was “littered” with thousands of these silver dollars, much to the delight of the current owner of the land.

Not very much reading comprehension in this thread. They have chosen to be anonymous so they aren't looking for publicity. They went to one of the top private coin experts in the US and took a year deciding what to do before telling the general public anything. But here in this thread all of a sudden they are stupid attention seeking media whores who apparently just wrecked their lives. Makes perfect sense.

Mary: We knew almost immediately that we would sell them, but we couldn’t just go to anyone – we had to walk that path really carefully…

John: We knew better than to go to any local pawn broker with the coins to put them on the market, we knew better than that.

Q. Some lottery winners have later said that such sudden wealth ended up being more of a curse than a blessing. Have the two of you discussed how you will navigate the path ahead and the potential pitfalls that might come with instant great wealth?

Mary: We try not to dwell on the negative.

John: It will be a broader path than the one we have been on.

Mary: Money can change other people’s perception of us more than our own perception of ourselves. Have you heard the song by Cindy Lauper, Money Changes Everything? We don’t want that; we don’t plan to tell our extended family or friends until more time goes by.

Q. You have chosen to remain anonymous out of concern for your family’s safety and potentially from being overwhelmed by the media. But how do you think this find will change your lives?

Mary: We’re the same people we were before, just with more freedom of choice. Our finances won’t have to dictate so many of our day to day decisions.
