Digging for treasure stories

Question: I came across your name while doing research for a children's book I'm writing on discoveries, ideas, and inventions. I'm trying to track down information on "treasure" (whether it be a baseball in an attic or gold in a chest) that someone found that was worth money. Do you have any information you can share with me, or could you direct me to a few good sites where I could find such info? -- Amy Zavatto

Answer: Whenever I run across a good treasure story, I post it here on the blog. Check in often. You never know what someone might dig up.
