Woman Fooled Into Searching for Gold Coins

It was the kind of scenario many of us dream about...the kind of thing that gets written into movies and screenplays. You find a note in a piece of old furniture directing you to a buried treasure that could change your life.

A woman from Illinois recently went through the first and last parts of that scenario; it was just the middle part (finding buried treasure) that was missing. After coming across a note in a vintage rocking chair, the woman set out to dig up the treasure outlined in the note. Instead of finding that over $250 in gold coins, the woman only came across trash.

Another woman who is from Iowa found out about this misadventure and claimed she knew what happened. According to her, the misleading note that pointed towards a nonexistent treasury of U.S. gold coins, was the work of a well-known prankster who passed away decades ago. So this pranksters penchant for playing tricks on people has even outlasted him. He did not get to see the results of this particular prank, but that may be a good thing. After all, gold coins are an excellent lure and anyone who has spent time and energy trying to dig them up is not going to happy to realize that it was all a part of a hoax. And in out society where people sue each other quite often, such a prankster could be faced with a lawsuit.

We cannot tell you just where some gold coins may be buried, but we can tell you that a gold buyer will be happy to buy your gold coins, if you really do in fact have gold coins, it is quite easy to sell gold coins online. And don’t worry, the cash for gold you can get is the real thing.
