The California couple who we reported found the largest gold treasure horde in history may now lose every dime. The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that the gold they found buried in rusty cans may have been stolen from the U.S. Mint. The coins have a face value that adds up to $27,000, but the total value of what is being called the Saddle Ridge Horde is estimated to be at $10 million.
A search of the Haithi Trust Digital Library found by a fishing guide and historian named Jack Trout revealed the news about the alleged theft. Trout claims there is evidence that one specifically rare 1866 Liberty $20 gold piece was part of the buried stash, and alone it is worth about $1m.

Jack Trout is a douche, and deserves a nice punch in the face. Oh well, serves them right for opening their mouths at all. Hopefully the government gets it all, so they can give the economy a boost, by adding to welfare and ebt. /sarcasm
ReplyDeleteI also wondered why they didn't cash it in, one coin at a time. There should be a statute of limitations on such things. Returning it serves no purpose. Fed will never sell it and reap the rewards for the good of the people.
ReplyDeleteThey had a year to figure it out and still didn't fully think it through.
Silence is Golden.
ReplyDeleteShould have been NO surprise to these people that their government will take all it can in the name of the law.
ReplyDeletesad sad sad!! i can't help feeling sorry for those poor boneheads, but when you consider the fact that they live in the people's republik of kalifornia, you know they probably aren't playing with a full deck anyway. they are almost certainly liberal space cadets who smoke wacky-tabacky, think obummer is god, and have "hillary" bumper stickers and peace signs all over their pedal powered mini-van.
ReplyDeletethey will tax them for half the value before they confiscate it all so not only will they lose the gold they will lose everything they own trying to pay the govt
