Californian Couple Finds $10 Million Worth of Gold Coins in Tin Can While walking their dog, a couple from Northern California struck gold -- literally. Last spring, the anonymous couple dug up rusty tin cans with 1,427 gold coins, dating from 1847 to 1894. Nearly every coin was in mint condition and has never been circulated, according to the Professional Coin Grading Service of Santa Ana, which recently authenticated the coins.
