METHUEN, Mass. -- Two men who claimed in numerous national television interviews that they found buried treasure in the back yard of a home were arrested early Friday after being questioned by police, who said they had determined that the money was stolen.

Police Chief Joseph Solomon said on ABC's "Good Morning America" that investigators believe Barry Billcliff, 27, of Manchester, N.H., and Timothy Crebase, 24, of Methuen found the old bank notes and bills in a house where they were doing roofing work.

Solomon said the men probably "cooked up a scheme" to make the find look legitimate so they could keep the money.

3. So whose money is it?

You would think anyone who hid it in the gutter would hesitate to hire guys to work on the roof if it meant they'd find it...mysterious.
