Sgt. Dookie Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Saw this on the news tonight. $10 million worth of coins. That is insane. "rural town with rolling hills in gold country..." oh wait, thats where I live. Too bad they wont even tell what town. another source http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/calif-couple-strike-10-million-gold-coin-bonanza-22667087 Edited February 26, 2014 by Sgt.

homefire Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 On the news this morning they said they reburied them. Don't trust Banks! Going to Piecemeal them out as required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I just read that Kagen (the auctioneer) was involved. He is-was partners with Hollowbird. Remember the Washington nugget, advertised as the largest existing Calif. nugget and then proven to have come from Australia after it was sold. The plot thickens.

shep Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Saw on news today, due to not theirs and lost, misplaced, bottom line found but from someone unknown, due a the 'treasure trove' law they can be taxed on it and not when they sell it, but for it's value, so due in the first year. Gov't gets half. Hope they didn't leave many paper trails. Just say'n, Shep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hopefully they will continue to keep a low profile.I can only imagine the insanity that would ensue if the location got out.There is nothing better than anonymity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-2 Charlie Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I even wonder if they ran out and bought a metal detector and searched for more loot ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
