While the small aluminum can and iron box didn’t look like much at first, their contents stunned historians and two lucky hikers alike. The tourists initially stumbled across the containers during a hike in the Czech Republic’s Podkrkonosí Mountains earlier this year, but soon took their valuable findings to experts for evaluation. According to a recent assessment by experts at the Museum of Eastern Bohemia, the worth of the jewelry, artifacts, and nearly 600 gold coins inside the containers is estimated to be over $340,000. Now, researchers wonder how this treasure trove of items and currencies from multiple nations and eras made it all the way to the Czech Republic—and why no one ever claimed them.
Conservationists at the Museum of East Bohemia are now working to catalog and preserve the rare discoveries, and hope to display them in a future public exhibit. As for the two hikers, they are likely happy they chose that particular trail—Czech law entitles them to a reward of up to 10 percent of the find’s total value.

Treasure stories are always cool.

Probably hidden by some German soldier(s) who didn't survive.

More like....Did they ever hear tell of STFU?

They looked to weigh around 6-9 grams each. Just call it around $720 each on average.

Sell a couple here and there and have some good walking around money. Idiots.

Hey, I misplaced exactly 600 gold coins recently. And I just got back from Bohemia. Where do I go to claim the loot? And this time, I won't be intimidated. I will not be backed down from my rightful property no matter how many ammo-carrying trained chimps that rat bastard JGalt has. I mean, the stupid monkeys can barely even hold their .45s straight. Them stupid chimps can't aim for shit.

All it takes is a bundle of bananas and them monkeys is mine.

Sure thing.

All you have to do is show up at the Czech border and sign some papers that say that their government is going to tax 110% of it, but where will you get the money for pay for the 10 extra percent of the loot?

Hey, I don't need no stinkin' money, Gringo. Me and my flotilla of armed, trained chimps don't ask, we just TAKE.
Hell, I better check, they might all be Democrats.
