THE GREAT KENTUCKY DRAMATIZATIONIn the well-that-was-a-big-bait-and-switch department, The Great Kentucky Hoard television program teased earlier did not actually show or name the farmer who discovered some 800 gold and silver Civil War-era coins buried in a cornfield. Instead, we got a dramatization with a narrator reading text from an email (supposedly) sent by the finder. We still don't know where the coins were found, who the finder is, what they look or sound like, or if they even exist in the first place. As noted earlier, I understand why coin hoard finders may wish to remain anonymous, but it always leaves a cloud over the reported story since it could all be just made-up hooey. Still, the second part of the show is at least entertaining and worth watching, and Jeff Garrett discusses his role. -Editor For the first time ever, hear insights from the farmer who found more than $3 million in gold coins in a Kentucky farm field. Learn about the moment he stumbled across what's now known as the Great Kentucky Hoard, how his family has been searching for items from the past for generations, and his advice to treasure hunters looking to stumble across the next great discovery.
