NEW YORK - Two modern day treasure hunters in the United States appeared to strike gold when they uncovered a safe stuffed with $100,000 in cash — but there was a catch.The banknotes were ruined. Barbara Agostini and James Kane , both in their 40s, have been propelled to celebrity status beyond their magnet fishing community after making the discovery in a New York pond over the weekend."It's surreal, I thought it was a joke until I saw it with my eyes," said Barbara Agostini .
Fearing the money could be linked to crime, the couple went to the New York police, saying they "didn't want to have a problem on our hands."But officers washed their hands of the cash."As a general matter, found property valued at ten dollars or more is required to be reported to, and deposited with, the police," a police spokesman told AFP.
