His pains and regrets would be immeasurable. Losing such an amount carelessly can be very painful. Although it would be a difficult task to get it back but with the support of the necessary bodies or team of specialists, that hard drive could be found. But it would be impossible to get it back in my country because immediately after it is dumped, human scavengers are already waiting to feast on the parts which are normally sold as scraps.

There are too many uncertainties here because he threw it in the dump long time back and anything could have happened by then.
May be someone else would have found it already and but wasn't able to recover the drive.
May be someone else would have found it and was able to recover the drive and used those coins.
The possibility of finding the hard drive is low and even if that person finds it it would be very hard for someone to recover the coins from the drive.

If it were in my country he would have gotten permission to excavate the dumpsite immediately. They would never consider the environmental or health implications. In fact, the government would have seen the armed forces protect the site because criminals would have been planning how to use sophisticated types of equipment to retrieve the hard drive. $70,000,000 is a considerable sum that can change the infrastructures of the Local government.
