Two people hiking in the Czech Republic are worth more than $340,000 when they are paved on the edge of an overgrown forest, according to the museum that contains the objects.
The East Bohemian Museum says hikers have found gold coins, jewelry and cigarette pipes. The museum said on social media that the object found weighed about 15 pounds.
The museum says the treasure was found in two containers of artificial stone walls. First, hikers discovered an aluminum can containing 598 gold coins divided into cylinders and wrapped in black fabric. Local media reported that the treasure was worth 7.5 million Czech crowns, about $341,000.

They found 16 pipes, 10 bracelets, and a bag made of thin wire mesh, comb, comb, powder coat and chain with keys. The museum says the items are made of yellow metal and are found in metal boxes.
A museum expert said the coins appear to have been “hidden on the ground for more than a hundred years”, and their history can be traced back to the 1808-early 19th century. Local media reported that the coins may have been buried after 1921, including currencies from France, Belgium, the Ottoman Empire and former Austrian-Hungary. Small marks on the currency indicate that they were in the castings of the former Yugoslavia that existed from 1918 to 1992.

Experts have not yet identified the source of other objects. An effort is underway to analyze the project and determine the yellow metal composed of the debris.
Miroslavavák, head of the museum’s archaeology department, said the discovery was unique, but the practice of burying treasures underground has always been “a common practice since prehistoric times.” Often, the fragments are buried in uncertain times, with the intention of returning later, Novak said. ”
