VERNON, VT- Rodney and Mary Russell were sitting in their living room when they heard a large noise Sunday afternoon. When they ran outside to investigate the noise, the discovered that an ancient oak had been blown over. As they surveyed the damage, a shimmer of something metallic caught the couples eye.When they walked down the embankment to investigate, they noticed a rusty metal can sticking out of the ground and dug it out, where they discovered a trove of rare Gold Rush-era coins. The 1,400 gold pieces, dating to the mid- to late 1800s and still in nearly mint condition, were discovered buried in the decaying metal can. It is still unclear is who hid the gold pieces, which were minted between 1847 and 1894. The $20 gold pieces appeared to have been new when they went into the ground and have suffered little damage from being in the soil for so long.
Officials are in the process of cataloging the couples find and determining what part of the estimated $10 million treasure the couple could be entitled to.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
