7. In a Hotel
Ron Whetton and Jennie Whetton own a hotel business under the name of Cours de Thomazeau which operates in the south west of France. The couple were doing renovations to a coach house when they struck gold. It happened when Ron was busy working on a wall where he found old Spanish coins that date back to 600 years ago, hidden away in a cloth purse, which he at first thought was a rat. The house sits in the medieval town of Castillonnes (cast-tee-yon-eh), now a small bed and breakfast. The Whettons have restored several old homes to quite well-furnished conditions and have owned the Cours de Thomazeau since 2004.

6. In the Wall
About $500,000 in cash was found behind a wall by a contracting company a few years ago. They were found hidden in ammunition cans. It made for a cool discovery, but it quickly turned into a battle to determine who the money belonged to. The contracting company, or the family of the man the house, and money, belonged to. The problem was, Robert Spann, the owner, passed away more than 10 years prior to the whole debacle. According to his family, they had even searched the house right after Spann’s passing, since he was known to stash away valuables like gold. So although the company found the cash, it eventually went back to the family.

5. At a Garage Sale
It sounds like a plot point in the newest National Treasure movie. A man actually found and purchased an original copy of the Declaration of Independence. The collector of the extremely valuable American document only dished out $4 for it in a frame simply because he thought the frame looked nice. This was back in 1991 and the Declaration of Independence was put up for auction at up to $1 million. There were many copies two and a half centuries ago, but less than 30 were known to have made it. Next time you go to a garage sale or flea market, you should try looking twice in case a copy of the one of the most important documents in a nation’s history turns up

4. In the Mattress
People keep cash, and other things, under their mattress all the time. For some, it’s a way of not having to deposit money in a bank account to avoid any kind of servicing fee. For this guy in Westborough, Massachusetts, it’s because he was part of a pyramid scheme. Federal authorities found close to $20 million dollars under Cleber Rene Rizerio Rocha’s mattress. While the company actually sold what they said they sold, they made more money from people paying to sign up and get recruited. The man was seized by authorities and so was the hundreds of wads of cash in his box spring.

3. In the Yard
A man from Austria stumbled upon actual buried treasure. The treasure trove consisted of hundreds of pieces of jewelry such as brooches, rings, pearls, belt buckles, fossilized coral, and other valuables. There was no fairytale or legend or treasure map involved in the discovery of the ornate items. The man only known as Andreas K. was digging through the dirt of his back yard--of course--when he discovered the jewelry in 2007. He didn’t even tell anyone of significance about what he found and initially only that he posted photos online. But collectors came across the pictures and old him he probably came across something incredibly valuable.

2. On a Cherry Farm
In 2015, a Swiss farmer was doing his daily duties when, during a sweep through the cherry orchard, he came across a collection of gold coins. The coins came from the era of the Roman Empire and dated back nearly 2,000 years ago. An expert found that the coins were from Emperor Aurelian’s and Maximilian’s reign from the late 200th century. Despite the coins being older than most things not in a museum, they appeared to be in pretty good condition as the imprints remained easy enough to read. No one had built anything on the orchard, so the stash remained untouched for probably that long of a time. The farmer isn’t allowed to keep the coins as they are going into a museum.

1.Anywhere
If you haven’t heard, scavenger hunt crazes have been hitting places like California the past couple years. A real estate investor by the name of Jason Buzi organized scavenger hunts in LA and San Francisco through a Twitter account under the handle “Hidden Cash.” He and partner Yan Budman continued the scavenger hunts since so many people would leave them messages, telling them what a difference and impact in made of their lives. The scavenger hunts did stop for a while due to financial reasons, but recently started up again, with someone else giving away the money. Through clues left on Twitter, people visit restaurants, beaches, parks, and, more recently, the Santa Monica Pier, to hunt for wads of cash.
