Two people walking in the Czech Republic found a treasure treasure with a value of more than $ 340,000 while walking to the edge of a forest covered with weeds, according to the museum that took possession of the articles.

The East Bohemia museum said hikers found gold coins, jewelry and tobacco bags. The objects found weighed around 15 pounds, the museum said on social networks.

The treasure was found in two containers on an artificial stone wall, the museum said. First, hikers saw an aluminum bottle, containing 598 gold coins, divided into columns and wrapped in black fabric. Local media reported that the treasure was valued at 7.5 million Czech crowns, which is approximately $ 341,000.

About three feet away, they found 16 tobacco bags, 10 bracelets, a bag made of fine wire mesh, a comb, a layer of dust and a chain with a key. These articles were made of yellow metal and were found in a metal box, the museum said.

The coins seem to have been “hidden in the field for more than a hundred years,” according to an expert in the museum, and date from 1808 to the beginning of the 19th century. Local media reported that the coins, which were probably buried after 1921, include currency of France, Belgium, the Ottoman Empire and the former Hungary of Austria. Small brands in La Moneda indicate that they were coined for use in former Yugoslavia, which existed from 1918 to 1992. The museum called the collection a “very specific set.”

Experts have not yet failed or determine an origin for the other objects. Efforts are being made to analyze the elements and identify the yellow metal of which the pieces are composed.

Miroslav Novák, head of the museum’s archaeological department, said the finding is unique, but the practice of burying the underground treasure has been a “common practice since prehistoric times.” Often, the pieces were buried “in uncertain times with the intention of returning later,” said Novák.
