Missing Gold Coins Thrown in Trash

3/18/2009

A Bismarck man`s pot of gold is missing.

The man, who owns Modern Machine Works, said he
put a bag with 13 one-ounce gold coins on a shelf
in the storage room.

He noticed that it was missing, and reported
it to police.

They learned that the man`s brother remembers
throwing a bag away last month when he was
cleaning up.

That means the bag is probably in the city
landfill.

But don`t think about going to try to
find it.

The public works director says scavenging at
the landfill is against the law.

The gold is worth about $12,000.
