Construction workers are said to have discovered a cache of gold coins and bars worth about £7.6 million while renovating a brewery. Reports state the find is pulled from the building’s foundations during building work. Police have confirmed the discovery and the broad composition of the treasure, including gold bars and sovereign coins.
According to the outlets, the haul includes roughly 40 gold bars and about 4,000 gold sovereign coins. Both reports describe the find as emerging during renovation rather than through a planned search. The stories also differ slightly in phrasing, with one outlet focusing on the amount found in “buried treasure” terms and the other describing it as a “treasure horde,” but they align on the key details of the quantity and the estimated value.
