Talk about unexpected…
Construction workers in Belgium this week uncovered $10.4 million in gold while building a new sewer below a former brewery, according to local police.
Police in Sint-Gillis-Dendermonde, a Flemish community outside Brussels, said the workers contacted them immediately about the find, which officers cataloged, then placed in a “high-security federal government vault.”
An 18-year-old worker on the site named Kobe told VRT news he at first thought the gold pieces were 1 Euro coins.

There’s a Liam Neeson movie, The Honest Thief where a bank robber wants to turn himself in with the $9M he’s stolen.
It doesn’t go well.
I KNEW there was something I forgot to bring back from my trip to Belgium 3 years ago. I’d better let them know….
So, if the gummmint does not keep the money who would it go to? My keyboard space is broken this is why the spacing is crap.
How come all I ever find is mud, dirt, and stones? (and the occasional tree root)
