A California couple got a huge surprise last year while walking their dog in their garden. They found 1,427 gold coins under a tree. The coins are worth over $10 million. They are all in perfect condition. The coins are almost 200 years old. Some of them are very rare and could be worth $1 million each. The couple said they saw some rusty cans sticking out from the ground. When they dug down, they were shocked at what they found. The woman said: "It was like finding a wonderful hot potato. I never would have thought we would have found something like this."
The couple said they would keep some of the coins and sell the others online. They will donate some money to charity and use some on their house. The woman had some advice: "Whatever answers you seek, they might be right at home. The answer to our difficulties was right there under our feet." She said to never be afraid to look inside a rusty can. A coin expert said the coins were genuine. He was very excited and said: "I don't like to say once-in-a-lifetime for anything, but you don't get an opportunity to handle this kind of material, a treasure like this. Ever."
