READING:

A California couple got a big surprise last year while walking in the garden. They found 1,427 gold coins under a tree. The coins are worth $10 million. They are all in perfect condition. They are almost 200 years old. Some of them are rare and could be worth $1 million. The couple saw some cans sticking out from the ground. They dug down and were shocked. The woman said: "It was like finding a wonderful hot potato."

The couple said they would keep some coins and sell the others. They will give some money to charity and use some on their house. The woman said: "Whatever answers you seek, they might be right at home. The answer to our difficulties was right there under our feet." A coin expert said the coins were real. He said: "I don't like to say once-in-a-lifetime for anything, but you don't get an opportunity to handle…a treasure like this. Ever."
