there was medieval treasure buried beneath his French château, so the actor bought a radar from him and devoted an entire year to looking for it. I don’t want to be dramatic, however, the CIA could do the most unspeakable things to me and I still wouldn’t blurt that shit out. But for reasons we simply will never understand, Pitt had the confidence to just announce it during a recent As the age-old story goes, said Pitt was approached by an unnamed man who told him there were “millions of dollars’ worth of gold” buried beneath Château Miraval, the estate in Provence he purchased in 2008 with his then-wife, . Yes, this is the same thousand-acre estate which over because she allegedly sold her share of the property without telling him first. According to this nosy bloke, it wasn’t just any treasure. It was gold “that one of the estate’s medieval owners had taken from the Levant during the Crusades and buried on the grounds”.

If he independently bought radar equipment I would be less suspicious. Maybe he was just full of whimsy and optimism. However, he bought it from a man who randomly told him there was medieval treasure buried beneath his château. Please, no one call Pitt telling him he’s related to a . In the end, Pitt conceded he had been and said the experience was “pretty foolish”. Foolish, indeed. God truly gives his silliest pranks to his most famous soldiers.
