When you purchase a home, you usually don\u2019t expect to find anything inside it \u2013 let alone a treasure worth thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n

But just days after they bought their dream home, South Columbia couple James and Clarrisa Munford stumbled upon a treasure trove of gold and silver coins, valued at a whopping US$15,000 (AU$20,606).<\/p>\n

Given the coins were found after the sale of the property, the Munfords were legally allowed to keep the coins, or sell them and cash in.<\/p>\n

However, the new owners chose instead to get in touch with the sellers and return the coins.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an old saying: \u2018You reap what you sow,\u2019\u201d\u00a0the seller said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife and I spent a great deal of time and effort to ensure that we left our home in excellent condition for the Munfords, and one good deed was certainly returned by another.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow is a good time to pause and reflect about how we treat each other. If there were more people like the Munfords, this world would be a much better place.\u201d<\/p>\n
