There Really Is Gold in California!

Yesterday I wrote about tragedy, and today I write about good fortune. Actually, the story is about extraordinary fortune. Good Morning America had this story about a California couple who stumbled upon a buried fortune on their ranch while out walking their dog. They discovered five cans of buried coins from the 1800s, all in pristine condition. One particular coin alone is so rare that it is worth a million dollars. All together the fortune is worth over $10,000,000.

The couple who discovered them is remaining anonymous, for obvious reasons. The picture below shows what one of the cans looked like when it was unearthed.
