$10 Million in Gold Found Buried Under Former Brewery in Belgium

According to reports, the treasure was found specifically within a cellar wall during the course of their work. The find consists of a combination of gold bars and gold coins. This unexpected discovery took place during active construction efforts at the site of the defunct brewery, turning a standard work assignment into a major financial find.

Coverage of the event has been reported by CNN and KCRG. CNN describes the event as construction workers striking gold at work, emphasizing the serendipitous nature of the find. KCRG provides more specific details regarding the physical location of the treasure, noting that the gold bars and coins were specifically buried inside a cellar wall.

The presence of such a large amount of gold buried in a cellar wall suggests a deliberate act of concealment from the past. Because the gold was found in a cellar wall of a former brewery, investigators will likely look into the history of the property. Coverage does not yet specify if the gold has been moved to a secure facility or if the construction project has been halted for a further archaeological search of the remaining brewery grounds.
