It&#8217;s a strange day!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ester said that he got up early this morning and logged on to geocaching.com, a central website that players use to get information related to their game. He was immediately greeted with a cache, GC080401, that was just posted. It was very near his work so he left early, hoping to be the first person to find it. Apparently there are &#8216;bragging rights&#8217; for the first player to find one of these hidden treasures. After a short search of a heavily wooded area he discovered a fairly large wooden box. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I sort of knew something was strange when I tried to lift it, it weighed like fifty pounds&#8221;, Ester said.<\/p>\n<p>Upon opening the box he stood back in awe. There were hundreds of gold coins carefully packed in bubble wrap and straw.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At first I thought it was some kind of joke but the more I looked at the coins the more I realized that they were real&#8221;, Ester related later.<\/p>\n<p>Geocaching is a game played world-wide where players from around the world seek treasures , called geocaches. These geocaches are hidden by other players and usually only contain dollar-store type items, certainly not millions of dollars in gold coins. A find like this will definitely puts a new spin on the game.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he will continue to play the game of geocaching Mr. Ester replied, &#8220;Of course! What else can one do on the first day of April?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Keep on cachin&#8217;!<\/p>\n<div id=\"movedpost\">This post was originally posted on our now defunct website, Geocaching Online<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Geocaching, Hesaj Ester stumbled upon a hidden treasure that led to a find of over two million dollars in old gold coins! &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t believe my eyes!&#8221;, Ester said, &#8220;I have been Geocaching for years and this is the first time that I found anything like this.
