Good Luck.
A couple California got a huge surprise last year while they were walking their garden. They found 1,000 gold coins a tree. The coins are worth over $10 million. They counted 1,427 coins. They were all mint condition. The coins are the period 1847 to 1894. Some of them are very rare and could be worth to $1 million each. The couple said they were walking their dog and they saw some rusty cans sticking of the ground an old oak tree. When they dug , they were shocked 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 plan to keep some the coins and sell the others online. They will donate some the money they receive charity. They said they would use some of the money to make their house better. The woman had some advice. She said: "Whatever answers you seek, they might be right home. The answer our difficulties was right there our feet for years." She added that people should never be afraid to bend and look a rusty can. Coin expert David Hall made sure the coins were genuine. He was very excited and said: "I don't like to say once--a-lifetime for anything, but you don't get an opportunity to handle this kind material, a treasure like this. Ever."
