I don't know how I never heard of this. To summarize, sometime in the 2020's a farmer stumbled across a hoard of 700+ buried gold coins in his field.

Gold Dollars, $5 and $10 Pieces, with a value over a Million Dollars.

Links: Wikipedia on the Great Kentucky Hoard, The National Post, LiveScience.Com - which is of interest as it mentions a few other unrecovered hoards of even greater Value: 

Many wealthy Kentuckians are rumored to have buried huge sums of money to prevent it from being stolen by the Confederacy. James Langstaff left a letter saying he had buried $20,000 in coins on his property in Paducah, William Pettit buried $80,000 worth of gold coins near Lexington, and Confederate soldiers quarantined for measles reportedly stole payroll and hid it in a cave in Cumberland Gap. None of these caches has ever been recovered.

Of interest as well, other hoards in North America - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hoards_in_North_America, and be sure to follow links to the Baltimore Gold Hoard and the Castine Hoard.

And, finally, a post on other rumored undiscovered hoards of Kentucky: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/, which has me looking up all sorts of things on Google Maps...
