Unburied treasure
It's the stuff of pirate legends, but don't waste your breath asking Joel Ruth on what stretch of Florida's Treasure Coast he found his hoard of Spanish pieces of eight -- waiting to be scratched out of the sand with bare fingers and toes.
Treasure hunters guard their secrets.
Especially, if like Ruth, they've just found about 180 near-mint silver coins worth more than $40,000.
