A San Jose man needed no treasure map when he reportedly stumbled on to $500,000 worth of gold and silver after bidding on an abandoned storage unit. The man, identified only as John, apparently paid $1,100 for the unit

    All I can say is that if I ever find a 1/2 million dollars abandoned, no one else is ever going to know it!

    Exactly right, this guy might end up having problems with living family members of the deceased owner of the coins. Never know, just better off keeping it to himself.

    Agree. That much treasure will generate lawsuits and robbery attempts. Also, your wife will go on a spending spree.image

    Yeah this guy should have kept his big mouth shut, perhaps he was hoping to generate money and get his 15 minutes of fame by telling his story???

    It's funny on yahoo it's just rare coins, gold and silver bars in a blue rubbermaid but to TMZ it's pirate treasure in an old chest...

    I don't think it was him who said anything. The auctioneers nosey'd around and leaked it.

    That's why you only sell a little at a time over several months to stay under the radar.
