Anybody know what happened to that couple in California who found like coffee cans buried near a tree on their yard FULL of gold coins?

Not sure if the government tried to seize it or what...

Given that it's California, I am CERTAIN that the state tried to seize them.

They’re apparently for sale.

I haven’t heard anything about the SF find lately, but for a short time there were discussions about a possible link to an unsolved theft from the San Francisco mint ages ago. Last I heard at least some of the coins predated the theft and were worn, showing they’d been circulated (not aged in place?)and any link to the theft was discounted. Bottom line (and it’s a BIG bottom line) last I heard, they get to keep them.

This couple just showed the whole country that if you fine treasure buried in your back yard you should be forthright and honest and turn in the empty cans.
