" Someone may have buried them and died before he could tell others about the place to be buried ," said David Hall, co-founder of the Coin Valuation Service Company.

'It could be a money from a robbery .' , Hall predicted.

The treasure is called 'Saddle Ridge Treasure' because the American couple discovered it near a hill called Saddle Ridge. However, the couple did not say exactly where they found the treasure.

Experts said that gold coins found in denominations of $ 5, 10 and 20, were cast between 1847-1894 in San Francisco.

Although the total face value of the coins is about 27 thousand USD. However, experts say, the value of this treasure can be up to 10 million USD.

The American couple plans to sell all the coins found on the Internet and only keep some of their coins. They will also hold an exhibition to display some of the coins in the 'treasure' they find in Atlanta.
