Dad and Son Treasure Hunters Strike Gold for First Time–But There’s a Twist
A father-son metal detecting trip uncovered gold for the first time, but the discovery came with a macabre mystery.
A father and son metal detecting duo discovered a gold tooth on a beach in the Pacific Northwest, marking their first major find together. Robbie Komrs, 40, and his father had been metal detecting for years, with Komrs discovering a gold tooth on his previous outing with his late mother. On this day, Komrs hoped to create some father-son memories with his son.
The gold tooth, weighing 3.4 grams, is estimated to be worth around $300 due to the current high value of gold. The couple theorized that the tooth could have belonged to someone who scattered ashes or was involved in a tragic dental accident. Komrs plans to keep the tooth as a cherished memory of his time with his father.
