Another lucky person inside Kentucky found 700 US gold coins buried in a cornfield in Kentucky.
The main asset is estimated to be worth about $2 million.
Most of the gold coins were from 1840-1862 and some of the most famous coins found at this location were $1 Gold Indians, $10 Gold Liberties and $20 Gold Liberties.
The man and the location where the gold coins were found have not been released to the public due to privacy concerns, but a video of the discovery was released by the US Mint.
Many historians believe that the gold coins were buried by a wealthy Kentuckian who was worried about the advance of the Confederate army during the Civil War.

Per DEM:
Recently unearthed in a cornfield in Kentucky, more than 700 gold coins of the United States have become one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century.
These coins were dated from 1840 to 1862 and are said to be worth over $2 million.
Dubbed “The Great Kentucky Hoard,” experts described the find as extremely rare, and it has never been found in such good condition.
“Inside was a beautiful and well-kept silver coin,” Certified Collectibles Group vice president Andrew Salzberg said. “And I think they were well preserved because they weren’t exposed to air, and they were buried underground.”
