    Lol. No, but the video in the O P's article claims it might be a 1 in 3 chance, so it could be said the odds are on your side. It's just me playing Advocatus Diaboli for the hell of it, so don't get too precious old boy.

    For interest only, here's a video of the discovery.

    Let's not forget the locals who've been running all over it for the past 70 odd years. Don't tell me that some of them don't have the opportunity of having gold teeth, dirt poor or not.

    I think he should have a sales promotion. "In one of our hot dogs you will find yamamoto's gold tooth!". Its a cash cow idea!!
