Arkansas Man Picks Up 'Glass' And Hits The Jackpot
Kevin Kinard hadn’t expected anything out of the ordinary when he joined friends on a day-trip to an Arkansas state park — but then he spotted something glistening on the ground. The seasoned outdoorsman picked up the item, which appeared to be glass, in order to get a closer look. In that mundane moment, Kevin had no idea just how crucial that simple decision would be to his future — or that the strange item he clutched in his hand would alter his entire life.
A Switch In Luck
For years, Kinard had been visiting the park outside of Murfreesboro with friends, hoping to become one of the fortunate visitors to uncover its hidden treasure. But ever since the second grade, he had gone home empty-handed. Then, one sunny Labor Day, his luck changed – and he made a discovery that brought him to tears.
Just A Piece Of Glass
At first, Kinard thought that he had discovered a piece of glass, glinting on the surface of the recently-plowed soil. But when he took it to park employees hours later, he got the shock of his life. Because it wasn’t an everyday object that the Arkansas man had found – it was a rare find likely worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Not The First Time...
Of course, Kinard was far from the first person to uncover a valuable treasure out in the American wilds. For example, in June 2020 it emerged that an unnamed man had made an incredible discovery somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Yes, he’d uncovered a bronze chest crammed with precious gemstones, jewelry and gold.
The Fenn Treasure
Had the man stumbled across a cache of valuables hidden by outlaws during the days of the wild west? Or perhaps something even more historic? As it turned out, the chest was actually buried much more recently. In fact, it was the infamous Fenn Treasure, stashed in a secret location by an eccentric art dealer in 2010.
