Heartbreaking

A husband and wife are reveling in their good fortune after finding $10 million in rare gold coins buried on their property in Northern California.

The gold country discovery is thought to be the largest of its kind in U.S. history, according to David Hall, co-founder of Professional Coin Grading Service, which authenticated the find.

"It's quite a story. People were walking along on their property in Northern California, noticed something, began digging and they found cans of gold coins," Hall said.

"It should have happened to you and me."

The coins were unearthed in February 2013 by the husband and wife, who wish to remain anonymous.

They were walking their dog when they spotted something shiny on the ground.

The couple dug and eventually discovered eight metal cans, containing more than 1,400 gold coins.

No one knows how they got there, or who the coins might have belonged to.
"Somebody could have buried them and then died before they let anybody know where they were," Hall said.

"Believe it or not, I know cases where they forgot they had something, or they moved or whatever ... It could have been some kind of robbery deal ... Who knows?"

The treasure is known as the "Saddle Ridge Hoard" because it was discovered near a hill the couple called Saddle Ridge.

In their effort to stay anonymous, the husband and wife aren't saying exactly where the fortune was found.

The coins, in $5, $10 and $20 denominations, are dated from 1847 to 1894. Most were minted in San Francisco.

They have a combined face value of about $27,000, but experts believe they could fetch $10 million or more.

The couple is planning to sell much of the collection.

I want to, but I have to get up in a few hours.

So the answer is no.




Ugh. :)

Women. Beautiful goddamned women.

i don't think i'm ever going to get a chance use the phrase "bizarre juxtaposition" in a sentence in a real conversation. that is disappointing. as disappointing as not fucking that cute, weird girl who was totally into me for unknown reasons in high school when i was obsessed with the dumb, ditzy bitch would never, ever even think of it? no, but it's close.
 
connie's life felt dismal
and he planned to write about it
in a little book that he could carry around with him all the time
but he had yet to find the right little book to write it in
and he already had much baggage that he carried around.
 
Dear Laurel,

Any chance you could bring back my sig-line? I've had it so long that I don't remember exactly what was in it, but I do remember it with much fondness.

Many thanks.
