The Great Kentucky Hoard - Part 1 (Lexington, KY) | Kentucky Life | KET

How did more than $3 million in Civil War era gold coins end up in a farm field, somewhere in Kentucky? Everyone from the Washington Post to USA Today to major TV news networks covered this story last summer when it first broke, but in this segment you’ll hear for the first time from the Lexington coin dealer who brokered the sale of the coins when he was first approached by the farmer who literally stumbled upon them. You’ll also hear from a UK professor about why she thinks the coins were buried in the first place, and from some modern-day treasure hunters here in Kentucky.
