Somewhere in San Francisco, buried one foot underground, rests a treasure chest filled with 10,000 $1 coins

Reddit (posted three weeks ago):

One year ago we announced here that we buried a $10,000 treasure chest. Many hunters went searching and it was found in just 11 hours.

We did it again. It's located within 7 miles of San Francisco city hall, weighs more than 150 pounds, and is buried one foot deep.

Edit: Update: The treasure is NOT on Angel Island or in Francisco Park.

Why are we saying this? Civic duty, mostly.

Soon, he had skipped school and was at the old U.S. Mint building at Fifth and Mission Streets, squirreling through a hole in the wrought iron fence and digging in the garden area. But a barefoot woman injecting herself with a hypodermic needle on the steps yelled that he was causing a disturbance, and he reconsidered.
