Prosperity theology fails yet again:

> A man posing as a government employee approached a business owner and said he needed to take soil samples from the property.

> The next day, the suspect returned with a metal detector claiming he found gold or silver in the soil.

> The business owner helped the suspect dig until they found a capsule with a leather scroll. The scroll read that a treasure had been buried, but there was a catch. Treasure hunters had to place $68,000 wrapped in cloth along with a Spanish Catholic Bible on an altar for nine days before the digging could continue. The business owner chipped in $15,000\. The suspect and another man also put bundles on the altar and then left.

> After several hours the business owner decided to look inside the bundles and found three stacks of newspaper the size of dollar bills, police said.

> His money and the suspects were gone.
