In the United States, a woman discovered a metal treasure of coins and antiques while cleaning in a park.
The New York Times reports about this.
Kelly Wakefield, 46 -year -old gardener, found the treasure in the park in St. Albans, Vermont. The woman shook the box and heard a claw: inside there were coins, a map, a bullet from the American civil war and a ticket from the author of the search book Michael Cloherty O’Connell. Treasures have not yet been evaluated but, according to their original owner, the total hidden chest value exceeds $ 100,000
O’Connell, the author of the books “Lady Liberty’s Treasure” and “Riley’s Treasure Hunt”, invested some of his retirement savings in this project. He hid several chests in different states, leaving clues in his works. Ten chests have already been found, but Wakefield is the only one decided so far to tell the truth. The woman acknowledged that she intends to continue her searches. The author, however, hopes that his project will inspire Americans to study the history of the country before the 250th anniversary of the United States independence in 2026.
