Construction workers in Belgium discover a gold stash worth about €9 million after drilling to install sewage pipes. The find is made in a cellar area, with the gold reportedly sealed inside the walls.
According to reports, the discovery begins during construction work when workers open or drill into part of the property’s cellar wall. One account describes an 18-year-old noticing what he first thought were ordinary coins while laying drainage pipe, before the material is identified as valuable gold. Both outlets describe the loot as hidden behind the cellar wall and uncovered during plumbing or sewage-related installation.
The reporting focuses on how the treasure is located during routine work rather than on any long-running mystery about its origin. The differing coverage mainly relates to the initial moment of noticing the contents, while agreeing on the setting and the approximate value of the stash.
