I did not know about the first man but knew about the second man who is famous, James Howell with his attempt to dig a massive landfill to recover the hard disk back. I don't know will the first man retrieves his coins back but the second man surely lost it forever.

His attempt to convince the county to approve him to dig the landfill is impossibly be accepted. Even he has their approval, it is still impossible to have a usable, recoverable disk.

The story of first man is a red flag for anyone who don't make good wallet backups. They always have to back up their wallets as accidents can occur and they must have backups to use and recover wallet.

Ignoring the loss of that man, I thank you for sharing the story because the man story is interesting as it contains another massive giveaway in early days of Bitcoin community history. Pizzas, faucet from Gavin Andresen and awards in a Star Craft game. They are all massive award, giveaway, faucet in bitcoin amount.
