There's buried treasure somewhere in San Francisco
You're looking for a 22 pound chest worth over $10,000. It's brimming with gleaming ingots, currency, and San Francisco artifacts. About half the value is in gold.
Why?
We always figured treasure hunting would feature more heavily in life. Right alongside quicksand and tattered rope bridges.Sadly, the science seems to be out on quicksand and, thanks to modern building standards, rope bridges are stronger than ever.Buried treasure chests seem equally rare, but those we realized we could do something about.And so we did.
