between an hour of reporters, the beggars and the IRS.
I'd have said it was a Hoax Too





I wonder how Long the IRS
investigated after

Agree Jeff on the IRS comment!

I wonder where he found it.
I'll have to see if I can find the Original story

 

[jeff of pa]

WOW ! He really Should have Kept his Mouth Shut and Just found a coinshop !

Do you think he really found it, I can not imagine if you find 30k worth the 3k of taxes would be to much to handle. Although it does sound like a convenient ohh I made that up story

Unless the Newspaper Called the Treasury on him to Get a Comment ?

If he Didn't Why would he Contact the Treasury ?

Were the 2 Kids Made up too ? Or did they leave out that they were not Present when it was Found ?
it says when "they" were removing the Bricks

Did a Friend actually give him $30,000 worth of Treasure to Pull off a Hoax in front of the 2 kids ?

and Not Weigh the Consequences once the Paper got Involved ?

Yes ! I Think he found it & was So Ecstatic , all Common sense Left & He ran to the newspaper

Actual Value may have been Rounded up to an Even Number though I Believe the Kids Found it,
and Because he was the landowner &Hired them He took Credit
Like someone saying they Put a New Porch on their House, But actually They Hired someone to put it on.
and at most supervised .
