As the workers were demolishing the old house, they stumbled upon a hidden chest that had been buried under the floor for a century. They unveiled it on camera…

For years, the house on the edge of the town remained unoccupied. After the acquisition, the decision was made to fix the floor, and the new owner hired workers to demolish it. The property had been deserted by its owner, and during construction, workers stumbled upon a hidden antique chest beneath the ground level. After careful consideration, they chose to unveil it on camera and capture the contents through photographs.

This chest has certainly seen over a hundred years. Chances are, the previous owners didn’t hide it since no repairs were done in that area. The box was lifted out with a winch and ropes, but it turned out to be too heavy. The castle was so severely rusted that it needed to be smoothed down with a grinder. The hinges were removed by sawing them off since they were not opening. Instead of discarded items, the builders found neatly stacked silver ingots under the cover. Of course, the owner was called to the location, and he called the appraiser.

The finding was appraised at 15 million rubles solely by its weight. Due to the historical significance of the ingots, the owner is expected to fetch a higher price for the treasure. Discovering a silver treasure is a stroke of luck that eludes many. At least the homeowner covered the cost of the purchase.
