    Default Amateur Treasure Hunter Hits $1 Millon Jackpot!

    Hey Hanabi - I didn't see your name listed in this article.

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    they even declared 50 silver coins he found in another spot a treasure, then the guy has to accept a small percentage of what they are really worth.

    I'm sure the meusum will not display all 52,000 coins, they will just bury most them away somewhere!!

    common sence would be to let him keep and sell the treasure so 52,000 people could enjoy a piece of it.
