Summary
Construction workers in Belgium discovered $10 million worth of gold bars and coins while renovating an abandoned brewery. The treasure was found buried under the brewery, which was founded in the 1890s and operated until 1970. The gold was taken into possession by the police, and its ownership is currently unclear. The brewery’s founder, Théophile van Assche, had no heirs, but three people have come forward claiming ties to the family.
Our Reading
The habit of burying treasure gets a new name: “accidental discovery during construction work.”
Construction workers stumble upon $10 million worth of gold bars and coins, but won’t get to keep any of it.
The treasure was buried under an abandoned brewery in Belgium, because who needs a safe when you have a foundation?
Police took possession of the gold, because that’s what happens when you find something valuable in a hole.
The original owner’s family is still unknown, but three people have already come forward to claim the treasure, because who wouldn’t want $10 million?
It’s not every day you find a fortune while drilling, but it’s not like it’s going to change anyone’s life or anything.
