Northern California couple out walking their dog on their property stumbled across a modern-day bonanza:
$10 million in rare, mint-condition gold coins buried in the shadow of an old tree.
Kagin, whose family has been in the rare-coin business for 81 years, would say little about the couple other than that they are husband and wife, are middle-aged and have lived for several years on the rural property in California’s Gold Country, where the coins were found.
