9. The Welcome Stranger
A man once said, "Gold is what makes the world go round", and though it's been many years since some of the most famous gold rushes, there is still a hunt for gold going on right now, and that includes in the nation of Australia where they not only find the most clean gold out there, but some of the biggest gold nuggets ever. This includes the legendary "Welcome Stranger" gold nugget, the largest one ever found, period.

8. Wall Vault Of Coins
If you were to have some spare change from a purchase, there are a menagerie of places you're likely to put it, but for one family though, they went to the extreme. They decided to put their spare change...in the walls of their home. No, truly, they decided to do that, and what would happen next would boggle the minds of many.

7. Staffordshire Hoard
If a person is lucky, they'll use a metal detector and find something valuable, or even incredibly valuable. But to expect to find a plethora of items of value is a bit absurd. Yet, that's what happened to Terry Herbert.

6. St. Albans Coins
A man named Wesley Carrington was from England, and decided one day that he should go and get himself a metal detector. On his very first attempt to find something, he went to the forest near St. Albans. As he did, his detector went off, and as he dug, he found a gold coin, and then another, and another, and so on and so forth until he found himself looking at 55 gold coins.

5. The Hoxne Hoard
In 1992, a man named Peter Whatling in Hoxne, Sufflok in England needed help in finding a lost hammer that he misplaced. He brought his friend Eric Lawes and a metal detector and began to search the nearby field for his hammer. As they did, the metal detector went off multiple times, and as they dug they were shocked to find gold and silver.

4. Ringlemere Gold Cup
Usually, when an item is damaged, the value of said item goes WAY down. But in the case of the Ringlemere Gold Cup, it was the value of the history that made it special, and not exactly the item itself per se. Which is why the guy who found it cleaned up nicely.

3. Saddle Ridge Hoard
A couple in California was walking their dog on their private property in Gold Country, which is Sierra Nevada, California, in 2014. On this day, they went down a slightly different path than usual, and when they did, they saw a metal can sticking up out of the ground. When they looked inside the can they were shocked to see themselves looking at a plethora of gold coins.

2. The "Royal One"
In Australia, at a place called "Lightning Ridge", a man named Bobby was out collecting rocks for his job. As he was sifting through them, he found himself looking at a very interesting looking rock. It was one that "sparkled" and because of that he kept it.

1. The Two Million Dollar Penny
Robert Lawrence was the son of a worker of the US Mint in Denver, Colorado. However, when his dad died, he packed up all his belongings and took them to San Francisco with him. One of the things that his father left behind was a coin collection. After a while, he took the collection to an expert to be examined.
