A farmer's greatest fortune is treasure

In July 2023, a man found over 700 gold coins in a cornfield in Kentucky. The coins are dated from 1840 to 1862 and are estimated to be worth more than $2 million.

The land has become gold

The find has been dubbed the "Great Kentucky Hoard" and is one of the most significant coin finds in American history.
 
The coins were found on a farm in the central part of the state, near the town of Lexington. The man who found them was using a metal detector when he came across the first coin. He continued to search the area and eventually found over 700 coins. The coins are in remarkably good condition, considering that they have been buried for over 150 years.

The identity of the man who found the coins has not been released. However, he has said that he plans to sell the coins to a coin dealer. The coins are expected to fetch a high price, as they are very rare and in such good condition.

The discovery of the Great Kentucky Hoard has sparked a renewed interest in lost Civil War treasure. There are many legends of lost gold and silver that was buried by Confederate soldiers during the war. However, the Great Kentucky Hoard is the first major find of Civil War treasure in over a century.

It is still a mystery how the coins came to be buried in the cornfield. However, one likely scenario is that they were buried by a wealthy Kentuckian who was trying to hide them from an advancing Confederate Army. The coins were likely buried in a hurry, which explains why they were not found until now.

The discovery of the Great Kentucky Hoard is a remarkable find that has captured the imagination of people around the world. It is a reminder of the rich history of the United States and the many treasures that are still waiting to be discovered.

This gold price is not permanent.

This gold price is not permanent, but when people think of a problem in the country, they buy gold first. It is good to buy as much as needed, but buying too much is foolish. When there is a famine, the things they buy are food, clothing, and money. If we don't have money, it is difficult to sell gold for urgent needs.
