Metal detectorists have unearthed a treasure trove of coins that may have belonged to a charlatan who hid in the mountains of south-central Poland after swindling people out of their money.
Throughout the late 17th century and early 18th century, Antoni Jaczewski, a "hermit, adventurer and false profit," defrauded people in Kielce, a city near the Jeleniowskie mountain range, according to a May 8 translated Facebook post from the Provincial Office for the Protection of Monuments in Kielce.
