A couple was walking their dog near the ranch when the dog began digging furiously in the ground. Initially, people thought the pet had smelled a rodent in the ground. After examining the reason, they picked up a shovel.
It wasn’t long before a rusty can appeared on the surface, which looked nothing like a field mouse. What was most interesting was what awaited the people inside. Old gold coins filled the jar to the brim. John and Mary’s financial situation has improved over the years. During their evening walk around the district, they discussed the possibility of selling part of their land. Their dog suddenly leaped forward sharply and began digging furiously near a small hill a few tens of meters away.
There was something very unusual about the dog’s behavior. The couple decided to investigate the reason for their pet’s sudden interest in them. According to John, the animal smelled a field mouse or other steppe rodent. However, there were no visible signs of a hole. The man decided to return with a shovel to dig up what the dog had smelled in the ground. When the bayonet of the shovel rested on a hard object, he made a couple of strokes. In 20 minutes, an old rusty metal can appeared on the surface. After the lid fell off the tin, I just grabbed it with my hands” – John later told reporters.
Coins were scattered inside the jar. It appears the jar had been hidden a long time ago and was lying on the ground. A metal detector was used by John to check the area. The next day, he found six more cans at the same spot. Coins were found to be more than a hundred years old. The couple’s financial problems were quickly solved by the $10 million find.
