Heres another story:

Economite Treasure (1878)

In 1878 a remarkable hoard of silver coins was found ina subterranean storage area at Economy, Pennsylvania, in a building erected years earlier by the Harmony Society, a utopian work-share community.  The March 1881 issue of the Coin Collector's Journal have this inventory: Quarter dollars: 1818 through 1828, 400 pieces.  Half dollars: 1794, 150; 1795, 650; 1796, 2; 1797, 1; 1801, 300; 1802, 200; 1803, 300; 1805 Over '04, 25; 1805, 600; 1806, 1,500; 1807, 2,000; 1815, 100.  Common half dollars: 1808 through 1836, 111,356.  Silver dollars: 1794, 1; 1795, 800; 1796, 125; 1797, 80; 1798 small Eagle reverse, 30; 1798 Large Eagle reverse, 560; 1799 5 stars facing, 12; 1799, 1,250; 1800, 250; 1801, 1802, and 1803, 600.  Foreign silver (French, Spanish, and Spanish-American), total face value:$12,600.  Total face value of the hoard: $75,000.00.  Other information indicates that most of the coins had been taken from circulation and showed different degrees of wear.

Your welcome, they are good stories.  but here is another:

New Orleans Bank Find (1982)

A few minutes past Noon, on October 29, 1982, a bulldozer unearthed a cache of long-hidden silver coins, believed to have been stored in three wooden boxes in the early 1840s.  The pieces were mostly Spanish-American issues, but hundreds of United States coins, including 1840-O and 1841-O Liberty Seated quarters, were also found.  A scrabble in the dirt and mud ensued, and men in business suits, ladies in dresses, and others scrambled to find treasure.  The latest dated coin found was from 1842.  This must have been a secret reserve of some long-forgotten merchant or bank.

Another:

Wells-Fargo Hoard of 1908 $20 (1990s)

In the 1990s, dealer Ron Gillio purchased a hoard of 19,900 examples of the 1908 No Motto double eagle.  For a time these were stored in a Wells Fargo Bank branch, giving the name to the cache.  All were Mint State, and many were of choice and gem quality.  Offered in the market, these were dispersed over a period of several years.

there it is.

One last article!

Gold Coins from aboard (turn of the 21st century). In the late 20 century and in the first years of the 21st century, some exciting finds of Mint State double eagles were located in foreign banks.  involved were high-grade examples of some Carson City issues in the Liberty Head series and hundreds of scarce-mintmark varities of double eagles after 1923.  As is often the case when hoards are discovered, pieces were filtered into the market without any publicity or an accounting of specific varities found.

there is the last, enjoy!
