Finding treasure

A couple in North Yorkshire, England, were renovating their house when they stumbled upon a few gold coins in the dirt. As they continued digging under the home, they were shocked to find hundreds more of these coins – some dating back to 1610.

🗺🔎 X marks the spot... The collection of coins ended up having a unique history, and was projected to sell for ~$230,00 when it went up for auction. To everyone's surprise, the treasure sold for $852,380.😳

• "The anonymous finders were absolutely staggered by the result," shared the auctioneer. "It dwarfed any pre-conceived expectations and set dozens of world records along the way."
