A substitute teacher in California is the likely heir to a trove of gold coins worth over USD$7 million uncovered by a cleaning crew in the home of a recently deceased relative.
The National Post reports that Arlene Magdon is believed to be the sole remaining heir to the treasure amassed over many years by Walter Samaszko Jr., Magdon's first cousin and a quiet recluse who passed away earlier this year at the age of 69.
Samaszko had resided in the Nevada capital of Carson City since the late 1960's and led a quiet and frugal life. Records indicate he would withdraw only $500 a month from his stock accounts for the payment of modest costs. What some individuals have called a hoard of gold is, in fact, a quite well-thought-out investment in gold," wrote Herz in his report.
