Digging land to build a house, a group of workers hit a billion-dollar treasure

In 2021, Mr. Narasimha in Pembarthi village, India, hired a group of workers to help him dig the foundation for his house on his land. Unexpectedly, while digging at a depth of 0.6 meters, the workers unearthed a huge treasure. This treasure was a jar containing numerous artifacts made of gold, silver, and precious stones.

The group of workers immediately reported the discovery to the landowner. Mr. Narasimha also informed the local authorities. Several local government officials arrived at the scene. After inspection, they confirmed that the jar contained 22 gold earrings and other gold items, 5 silver necklaces and other silver items, and 26 silver bars.

The total weight of gold in this massive treasure is 189,820g and silver is 1,727g. It is estimated that these items are worth billions of Vietnamese dong.

Authorities ordered Mr. Narasimha to temporarily halt excavation or construction until further notice. The objects inside the jar were then recovered. According to archaeologists, these items date back to the Kakatiya dynasty, from the 12th to 14th centuries. They hypothesize that some gangs illegally excavated the tomb in search of treasure and left it on this land.

This is not the first time such valuables of jewelry and gold coins have been found. Previously, police in Pimpri-Chinchwad seized a large hoard of 216 ancient gold coins and a bronze vessel worth over 1.3 million Indian Rupees.

Additionally, they also recovered the seal of King Raja Muhammad Shah from 1720 to 1750 AD, along with gold coins.

The value of each coin in the hoard is estimated at 60,000 to 70,000 Indian Rupees, or approximately 19 to 22 million Vietnamese Dong, with a total value exceeding 1.3 million Indian Rupees, equivalent to over 4.1 billion Vietnamese Dong. During the investigation, police discovered that these gold coins were found after two workers accidentally unearthed the treasure while digging.
