Couple Finds $10 Million of Coins in Garden

Last year in California, a couple
got a huge surprise. They found
over 1,400 gold coins. They were
worth more than $10 million.
The couple was walking their
dog. They saw some rusty old cans
sticking out of the ground under an old oak tree. They
decided to check it out. When they dug the cans out of the
ground, they were shocked!
Experts say the coins are pretty old! They are from the period
1847 to 1894. Some of them are very rare. Some of them
could be worth more than $1 million. That's $1 million for one
coin!
The couple said they plan to keep
some and sell some online. They
said they will donate some money
to charity and use some money to
fix their house. The woman said "
People should never be afraid to
bend down and look inside a rusty
can!"
