I think it was here I read about a guy finding a Spanish Canon on the Continental Divide in the Gila. I sent him a message that it would be illegal to find it there and he should not post about it on the internet, he believed me and disappeared.

What about the guy that FOUND 9 TONS of gold and 7 1/2 TONS of silver plus gems, precious jewelry, and coins in Pennsylvania? That’s got to be the best treasure story ever told here right? HAS TO BE.

posts on here than anybody I know.
I pretty much agree with Ocean7 !!!

I remember reading a post long ago about a guy who found a giant hoard of 19th century American gold coins in the woods. There were more coins than he could carry and he didn't have a bag that day so he used some of his clothes to fashion a sack that he carried the gold out with over a few back and forth trips. He then put all the coins in the shower of his house to clean them. When his wife got home he showed her all the gold in the shower and they became millionaires and retired happily ever after.
As I recall they were not gold coins..but they were coins...

Is this the find in California finding those containers with gold coins in them ?
