Gold Hoard D by Fisher Folk Hidden on Newfoundland Coast

The New York Sun reports a Newfoundland coast tale of about 52 million in American gold hoarded by fishermen. It notes $2,000,000 in gold saved at Fortune Bay and Placentia, stored away by fishermen who convert it to Yankee coin. The bait trade and herring fishery fuel this secret wealth, with American captains often bringing $2,000 to $3,000 per voyage in coins. The practice has persisted for decades, entwining private wealth with seasonal fishing profits.
