Police are understandably not saying the location where the items were buried, both to make sure they can find the rest and to keep people from digging up the countryside on a buried-treasure hunt.


Who
What
Where
When
Why
How

These are questions answered by a decently reported news story...
It doesn't say who the items were stolen from or how the thiefs gained access for the theft. I can understand protecting the victim(s)'s identity and hoard location(s), but you know, were they a husband and wife cleaning crew at the governor's mansion or what?

So, how did they get nabbed? The stuff was buried. I merely found this gold hoard and was on my way to the police station to report it when I got pulled over.

Just unanswered questions on a cool buried treasure story that could have been reported much more interestingly(fun sucked right out of it). I'm sure there is more to the story online... that I couldn't be bothered to look for.

Sign me older and grumpier. And if I had a KTVZ subsciption I'd cancell it. ... stomps away muttering something about real pirates

[quote]On Tuesday, police recovered more than 400 1-ounce American Eagle gold bullion coins, worth about $962 per coin at current market value, and about $600,000 in jewelry, including a solid-gold bracelet Gregory said.[quote]

There was a solid gold bracelet included in the ONE MILLION DOLLARS worth of gold and jewelry? NO WAY!
