Some time after 2000 there was a New Yorker cartoon showing a mope on a beach with a magnet-on-a-stick seekin’ money in the sand, saying, “This is my new investment program.”
So in late 2009 we learn that life has imitated art, with a guy similarly treasure-huntin’ who found a bunch of buried gold and silver out in an English field which has now been valued at U$5.4 mio!! A couple of museums are tryin’ to raise money to buy the stuff and pay him half!!
