- Alaskan gold miner turned mammoth expert John Reeves revealed the location of 500,000 tusk bones allegedly dumped in New York City's East River
- Reeves said the tusks, which were bound for the American Museum of Natural History, were dumped along East River Drive near 65th Street
- Citing a draft report about the bone's journey from Alaska to the museum, Reeves, said they were dumped because the facility ran out of storage space
- The revelation has kicked off a bone rush, with fortune seekers already out on the river in search of the tusks, which could fetch around $20,000 a piece
- Altogether, the tusks, which were reportedly dumped in 1940 and most likely sank to the bottom of the river, are valued at around $1 billion
