When a married couple was walking their dog close to the property, the dog started acting strangely and started digging madly.
At first, they assumed that the pet had detected the stench of a ground mouse. But after that, they made the decision to check, and they took a shovel.
A rusty can that did not resemble a field mouse soon surfaced on the surface. However, the most intriguing aspect was anticipating the visitors inside. Old gold coins filled the entire jar to the brim.
John and Mary’s financial situation has seen better days.
So they were simply talking about the prospect of selling a portion of their land during their customary nightly stroll around the neighborhood.
Their dog suddenly bent forward and started digging frantically near a tiny slope a few tens of meters away.
The dog seemed to be acting in a really peculiar way. The pair decided to investigate the cause of their pet’s sudden interest and went after it.
John believed that the animal had smelled a field mouse or another rodent from the steppe.
However, there were no outward indications of a hole on the surface. The man then made the decision to go back and dig with a shovel to check what the dog had detected in the dirt.
When the shovel’s bayonet landed on a solid surface, he made only a few strokes. After 20 minutes, a rusted metal can that had obviously been there for a long time suddenly materialized on the surface.
Coins were strewn about inside the jar.
The coins are more than a century old, as it turned out. The discovery, which was worth $10 million, swiftly put an end to the couple’s financial woes.
