was found by landfill workers when it turned up on a site in cing rod and they initially thought it was they not she who'd Struck it lucky Bank notes and coins amounting to almost a half a million euros were spilling out from the vacuum when they found it and they initially hoped that they could split it between themselves fortunately for the owner the workers were honest enough to report the findings to the police the woman was reunited with her lost savings after she was able to provide the police with specific details about the money and the Hoover which nobody else could have known the Polish woman wasn't the only person to be careless with their valuables recently in America a woman accidentally threw away a valuable bracelet along with three of her most valuable diamond rings which had a combined value of over $100,000 the only clue she was able to provide to workers at the hall County landfill in Atlanta Georgia was that the valuables had accidentally been thrown in a black trash bag that wasn't good news most trash arrives in black bags and 300 tons of trash turn up at the site every single day fortunately the woman became aware of her mistake very quickly so the facility was able to narrow down the search based on when the trash would have been collected they still had to Wade through nine tons of trash to find it though which took a five-person team most of the day needless to say she was very grateful for their kind assistance for amateur metal detectorist working in a field in buckinghamshire England recently found a set of gold coins so rare that after they started unearthing them they spent 4 days sleeping in a tent close to their Discovery to make sure nobody else stole in and took anything from their Hall at first they believed they just found 12 silver coins from the time of Edward the first and Edward II which would have been reason enough to be pleased as they kept digging though the coins kept coming by the time they'd finished they'd excavated more than 550 extremely rare gold and silver coins dating back to the 14th century experts believe the combined value of their Hall could exceed [Music] $200,000 the most likely future owner of the precious historical artifacts is a museum once the coins are sold by English law the proceeds will have to be split between the men who found the coins and the person who owns the land we're sure they'll still be happy with their reward for a few days work some even older coins have been discovered recently in Italy and they could easily have been missed if it wasn't for the sharp eyes of construction workers the former cisson theater in Ko was in the middle of being excavated for a future Redevelopment project when an eagle-eyed worker spotted a flash of gold in the corner of the basement after clearing the rubble from around it he was amazed to see a pile of 300 gleaming gold coins all of which dated back to the time of ancient Rome the coins had been hidden in a soapstone jar and deliberately embedded in the wall suggesting that the original owner must have intended to come back for them one day the Engravings on the coins refer to the emperor's Antonio libio severo Leon the and hus meaning that even the newest of them is around 2500 years old the total value of the coins would have been a lot of money even for the time but in the here and now they're worth several million dollars The cheapside Horde hasn't been found recently but it's only recently that the authenticity of the collection has been verified this is one of the most famous collections of Elizabethan treasure ever found in the United Kingdom dating back to the 16th century and turning up under the basement of a regular house in cheapside London a humble looking wooden box containing over 400 Jacobian and Elizabethan jewelry pieces including Byzantine cameos precious stones rings and necklaces and a watch made out of a hollowed out Colombian emerald it's thought that the home once belonged to a jewelry dealer and that the collection was buried there for safekeeping during the English Civil War the original houses then burned down during the Fire of London in 1666 and the box was hidden under the ashes when a new house was built on top of it the authenticity of the pieces had long been debated but a closer investigation is identified the coat of arms of William Howard the former Viscount Stafford on some of the stones that's confirmation that the collection is the real deal and it's now on display in the London Museum emeralds are considered to be valuable no matter where in the world they come from but emeralds from the urals are generally thought to be among the finest available that might make this gigantic Emerald weighing 32 lb and recovered from the malisheski deposit Priceless Beyond imagination it's the largest stone found at the site since the 1990s and it's already attracting attention from Russian polishing companies experts are suggesting a starting price of a around $4 million but even that might not be enough to persuade the company who extracted it to sell it normally the value of an emerald is partially determined by its transparency that's not possible with this Stone the green color confirms that it's an emerald but it's so thick that measuring the transparency is simply impossible so far the emerald does not have a name which is unusual for stones of this size perhaps they should just call it lucky when the winners of an auction to buy an old disused Factory in Philadelphia USA went to look at what their money had bought them they were immediately delighted that they' taken a chance on the dilapidated building because there was a Priceless classic car still inside it this 1927 Packard must have been locked away when the doors to the factory were shut in 1974 and it has been patiently waiting for someone to come and find it ever since the new owners have researched the history of the vehicle and found that one of the Factory's previous owners bought it secondhand during the 1940s and used it to drive to and from work for the next decade mechanical issues stopped it running during the 1950s even though there were barely 10,000 Mi on the clock the problem is an easy one to fix and the car is in good condition right down to the wooden steering wheel and the roll down window blinds both of which are original fixtures they now plan to have the car restored to full working order finding valuables in the ancient Egyptian city of heracleon is a little challenging for explorers because the entire site is underwater that doesn't stop divers heading down there to see what they can discover and the rewards for doing so are sometimes excellent the most recent find is a collection of coins and jewelry which had been dated back to the 8th Century the find is part of an ongoing project to get to the bottom of everything that the site has to offer at the same time as finding the jewelry and coins divers identified parts of an ancient Temple which was extensively damaged when the city sank below the waves in the past explorers have found 64 ruined ships and their anchors and statues if dragged back to a standing position would be 16 ft tall most of the valuables are buried under more than 3 ft of sediment on the seafloor which makes them hard to access but has also ensured that they're well [Music] preserved the wealth and Riches of the Romanov family are almost legendary but it seems like they and their ancestors have done an excellent job of hiding their valuables over the years just when you think all that could ever be found has been found some more of it turns up the latest Romanov find has appeared in tashkin the capital of usbekistan and may be worth up to $1 million the cash of valuables was discovered below the basement of an innocuous looking building in the city and is mostly made up of exhibits which were known to be part of the Romanov 1918 collection which was once the property of the Tash kit Palace for almost a century the cash and everything in it were thought to be lost included in the find are Priceless works of art original pressings of valuable books and most unusually of all a solid gold microscope from the 19th century some of the more delicate objects have since been shipped off to Poland and Germany for restoration work there are many controversial things about the Leonardo D Vinci painting salor Mundi not least of which is its current location the portrait which has a title that translates into English as Savior of the world is considered by some to be akin to a religious Mona Lisa for many years debate raged about whether it was truly the work of the Italian master himself or whether it had been painted by one of his students it's now generally agreed to be at D venci original and has been valued at $450 million that's when the world of art went into a meltdown when it seemed to have disappeared after being displayed at the Lou branch in Abu Dhabi during 2018 it was next scheduled to be on display in Paris to celebrate the 500 th anniversary of Da Vinci's death in 2019 but nobody could find it it's since been found on a yacht in the United Arab Emirates belonging to a relative of Muhammad bin Salman the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia the owner of the yacht claims to have bought the painting lawfully antique Chinese vases are extremely valuable items and they're also extremely delicate when they go on display in museums they're often in a glass case and surrounded by alarm and protective barriers it's quite Unthinkable just to shove one into a shoe box and forget about it for years but that's how this one was treated by a family in France it had been passed down through the family from one generation to the next but the man who brought it for sale said neither he his father nor his grandfather particularly liked it they were therefore astonished to find out it's aqing Dynasty piece and was made somewhere between 1736 and 179 95 understandably the excited seller sent it to soues for auction who said that finding an unknown piece like this is the equivalent of finding a Caravaggio hanging on someone's wall the hotly contested auction went on for some time and the vase eventually sold for $17.5 million even art dealers sometimes get things wrong a family of art collectors and Tennis enthusiasts thought their Oriental looking bowl might have been valuable when they originally inquired it and they took it to an auction house to be valued they were told it was a cheap 19th century replica and so they used it to store their spare tennis balls it was only when Asian Art Expert Reggie prior was at their home to appraise some of their other items that he noticed the object and told them that they were keeping their tennis balls in a 300-year-old bronze sensor Bowl priest work recognized the distinctive Phoenix shaped handles immedi medely and knew it was likely from one of the Chinese Emperor's palaces at 2 ft wide it's a sizable piece and generated huge interest in China and Hong Kong when it was placed on sale because no other item like it has ever gone on the market before auctioneers didn't know what to expect in terms of bids they said an initial reserve of $40,000 it eventually sold for 4 million it might be time to take a second look
