Saddle Ridge Hoard: Buried gold coin stash 'worth $10m'
A California couple found a stash of gold coins buried on their property last year valued at as much as $10m (£6m), rare coin dealers have said.
The 1,427 coins, which date from 1847-1894, were never circulated and are in mint condition, numismatist David Hall told the Associated Press.
The unnamed couple found them buried in rusting metal cans under a tree while on a walk last April.
It is seen as the largest haul of buried treasure in US history.
