Where are the gentleman from the good ol' days

Obviously not but I think there is a possibility we are already rich by holding our bitcoin is just that we do not know yet.

There was a guy who tossed his hd with bitcoin in trash, then it got to a landfill.
7500 BTC, worth $32.2 mil right now (in btc, plus another $4.65 mil in BCH).
If btc will go up another 10X, I am close to 100% sure that someone will sift through that landfill, It is almost like a sunk galleon with treasure.
If the guy is smart, he would do a deal with a prospecting company, whereas they do the digging and he gets 20% or so if they recover the drive.
He has to provide some evidence that the wallet still have that much, which is easy. Not sure how he can prove that he would be able to recover private keys, though. They are probably on the HD.
Any takers at $36.85 32 mil, LOL?
Here is the story:

I remember reading the story back in the day, this is why it is important to have our private keys and our seed in places other than our hard drives, it seems bitcoin is going to become like those old stories about hidden mines with tons of gold.
