Comment on Remember the guy who lost a bitcoin wallet worth millions in a landfill? There's a game about that now
I believe he’s still out there digging to this day
He actually tried to buy up the whole landfill so he can continue to search. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli
its probably damaged beyond repair, if it got wet, or chemicals got into the drive, assuming its there. plus decaying trash creates a ton of HEAT.
Jokes on him, a time traveller beat him off to it
