Uh oh. I can just see the feds coming on over and confiscating the lot because they are government proprty. This has happened many times. People better start keeping their mouths shut in these circumstances.

At a price of $1350/troy oz, the happy couple found 20 troy oz.

Here comes the CA taxman! Grab ahold of your underwear!

Look at how shiny and clean those gold coins are in there.

It’s almost like someone minted them yesterday and stuck them in there.

The government will claim they are from a robbery and rob this couple of their gold.

Congrats to the finders, but I am having trouble grasping why someone who made such a find would tell anyone, let alone leak it to the media. Bad move IMHO.

It was $27,000 face value. That would be equal to 2,700 eagle coins or 1306 troy ounces of gold. Just the gold would be $1.76 million before the numismatic value of the coins are considered.

That looks like the Palisades Cliffs in Santa Monica.
Noticed Buster Keaton around there last time I looked.

If I ever found a hoard, nobody would ever hear of it. I would quietly sell it off, bit by bit.
