He never did know how the Feds found out he had it. They showed up at his house about a week after he found it.

Evidently he told at least one person...Nothing is truly secret if you tell anyone else!

From what I've heard about him, he was a pretty closed-mouthed ol' boy, but he did have a wife and 9 kids. I've always wondered if one of the kids bragged to another kid about what their father had discovered. I don't remember this relative too well. He was my great-uncle but he died when I was young. I do remember he was a pretty grim ol' codger and never had too much to say to anyone. Maybe he was grim from losing all that money? :)
