Construction Workers Strike Gold at Work – Literally
- Construction workers in Dendermonde, Belgium, uncovered a large hoard of gold while installing a sewer system near Brussels, with police confirming the discovery is worth around €9 million.
- Kobe, an 18-year-old student working on the site, told VRT that the team initially mistook the treasure for ordinary €1 coins before realizing the true value upon finding a gold nugget.
- Police shared images of 49 gold bars and a bucket of coins recovered from the site, while site manager Mario stated the discovery was an experience he had never encountered in his long career.
- Following the recovery, the East Flanders Public Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation to determine the origin and legal ownership of the recovered gold, which is now in a high-security vault.
- Owned by CAW Oost-Vlaanderen, the excavation site remains fenced off due to dangerous pits, and police warned the public against entering the area to search for more treasure.
