Construction workers digging a sewage line in Belgium have found a treasure trove of gold bars, rare coins and other valuables, estimated to be worth around 9 million euros.

The treasure was found during a routine job of replacing an underground pipe in Saint-Gilles-Dandermonde, about 30 kilometers northwest of Brussels, by 18-year-old student Kobe, who was working as a temporary worker during the summer. He discovered the treasure while digging with his colleagues on Tuesday.

According to Belgian media, the worker said that he suddenly saw something lying on the ground. At first it was thought to be a euro coin, but later a gold bar appeared and it turned out that the case was bigger than expected.

According to the report, the treasure includes gold coins, gold bars and gold bars. This treasure was locked in a bag which was hidden inside the wall of an old mansion by choosing bricks.

This mansion was built in the late 19th century. Authorities secured the scene immediately after the treasure was found and moved all valuables to a safe location in Brussels, now investigators are determining the true and legal ownership of the treasure.

Under Belgian law, a person who discovers treasure must wait at least five years for the original owner or his legal heirs to come forward.

Kobe, 18, on the other hand, admitted that the workers knew that if they found such a large amount of treasure, it was necessary to hand it over to the authorities. However, he hoped that in the future he might get some kind of reward for this discovery.
