Troubles began piling up for a Midwest couple near Alton, Illinois. First they lost their jobs. Then the septic tank in their backyard caved in. However, when the husband began digging around the tank, the story changed. His shovel uncovered a gold coin. Eagerly, he started digging with his hands, and to his astonishment he found 75 gold pieces. Suddenly the couple's misfortune had become a fortune, for they now owned a coin collection worth up to one million dollars. They had unearthed the cache of some rich prospectors of the 1849 gold rush era.
