In 2025, a man digging a hole for a swimming pool in his garden uncovered a massive gold treasure worth $800,000. This incredible discovery happened in the eastern French town of Neuville-sur-Saone.
The subterreanean stash included five gold bars and many coins. After making the discovery in May, the man did the right thing and immediately informed local authorities. The local council later confirmed that he was allowed to keep the gold because it did not originate from an archaeological site.
