Holy Shit, Buried Treasure

Holy shit, buried treasure. So these two guys from New Hampshire were digging up a tree when they came across a bunch of rusted tin cans that were buried in the late 1800s and just happened to contain close to $100, 000. What kind of dumb luck is that? Working in the yard never really pays off for me like that. I normally just end up stinking like dirt and feeling pretty sore the next day.

Here's my favorite quote from the story: ''I'm a pessimist; I was waiting until I got a professional review before I jumped to any conclusions," Villcliff said. ''Tim, however, was singing and dancing. He was ranting like a rabid monkey."

I wonder how many people, after hearing about this story, are now frantically digging up their backyards.?
