Construction Workers Dig Up Mysterious $10M Gold Stash While Working on Sewer System
Police say the haul includes about 49 gold bars and thousands of coins, and investigators are tracing its origin and rightful owner.
- Construction workers in Sint-Gillis-Dendermonde, Belgium, unexpectedly uncovered a gold hoard estimated at about €9 million while digging trenches for a new sewer beneath a former brewery.
- The discovery included 49 gold bars, thousands of coins and gold nuggets, which had apparently been deliberately hidden inside a bricked-up cellar wall beneath the former brewery owner's villa.
- The workers immediately contacted authorities, and the treasure was inventoried and transferred to a secure government facility while prosecutors investigate its origins and determine who legally owns it.
- The stash may be connected to the former Van Assche brewing family, but no owner has been established, and Belgian law gives potential claimants five years to come forward before ownership issues can be resolved.
