US Edition'Just dumbfounded:' Gold and Silver Coins Discovered Buried in Vermont Park
- Gardener Kelly Wakefield uncovered a hidden cache beneath a shrub in Taylor Park, St. Albans, containing precious silver and gold coins, antique items, and a bullet from the Civil War era.
- The stash links to the 1864 St. Albans raid when Confederate soldiers crossed from Canada and left loot buried for months before its recent find.
- Wakefield was dumbfounded and described the bullet as 'really neat to have in your hand,' while the discovery has become local talk in downtown St. Albans.
- Wakefield said, "It's in a safe-deposit box," and author Michael Cloherty O'Connell noted that other treasure chests remain undiscovered across New England.
- Mayor Tim Smith hopes the attention from the find will boost tourism and inspire families to visit St. Albans and explore its history this summer.
