In the Treasure Corner - Have You Found a Million-Dollar Treasure?

[Dan Hughes]

Hey, you with the metal detector! Wanna be a big star on a worldwide reality TV show?

I got a phone call yesterday from a casting associate for a new reality show about people who have suddenly come into a lot of money.

People who won the lottery, or invented a popular app, or received an unexpected inheritance - or found a treasure with a metal detector.

And she called me because she thought I might know of such a person, since I know a lot of, you know, treasure hunters and such.

If you fit the description of a person they're looking for, the podcast gives you the number to call.

And if you don't, you'll still enjoy the show.

Listen at In the Corner with Dan Hughes.

You think if anyone in here had won a million$ plus, they would still be hanging around reading posts? lol, think I would be off on a nice cruise.

I'm not sure about the show but the Donald Duck book looks like a good read.

 

[DirtStalker]

Plenty on here are have found a Million pull tabs. Does that count?

I'd HATE to go on a cruise! No metal detecting! I'd be bored stiff after about 10 minutes.

Wish I had a copy! It's probably worth some big bucks!

 

[Meadow]

What Red James Cash said.

And I'd also hate the cruise.

Guess I'll go back to digging roofing nails out of my lawn now.

Don't know that one but any Donald Duck or Uncle Scrooge by Carl Barks is awesome. Later Don Rosa too. Tons of fantastic treasures and well-plotted adventures and hijinks, well-researched, clever, great art, great characters, and subtle social commentary. Barks is one of the best comics writers ever.

 

[Mackaydon]

Who would be dumb enough to admit to an absolutely unknown person that he/she is suddenly worth one million dollars?
Worse, to admit it in today's society of scams and thieves !!
Don......

 

[Red James Cash]

To look at it another way,the donald duck book is probably above the IQ level of the show

And it's so sad that most people think only of the simplistic movie-cartoon Donald Duck (and Mickey Mouse for that matter) - they know nothing of the great stories that appeared in the comic books. Wonder why none of the comic-book stories ever got made into cartoons? Those would have been fantastic!

Ouch, Red James! But you might be right - Donald was a pretty sharp cookie in the comic books. (Or maybe it was his nephews, who often saved the day for him.)

Do y'all suppose the IRS has some intern whose only job is to sit at the computer all day typing in 'treasure found' or variations thereof to see what pops up? Nah, me neither, probably never crossed their minds.

Not the IRS, just the myriad of idiots who will claim they buried it, or their father buried it, or their uncle buried it. Lawsuits are filed by property owners, previous property owners, previous tenants, and all kinds of people who come out of the woodwork to claim it belongs to them. Most of them have no real claim and know it, they just hope the newbie-millionaire will settle their nuisance suit out of court and give them some of that cash.

Nope,a person isnt needed,whenever a "keyword"is picked up in the data streams,well,thats all it takes.Computers at certain facilities have more storage than ALL desktops in the world COMBINED.

A simple computer program takes care of that.

I know of a woman that won a million, and her husband is still after paying out in the divorce case.

Wonder if that has anything to do with my second brand new cell phone in two months not working right? It won't receive calls goes right to VM no ringer, you can call out from it, and it receives texts but won't send them!
