A man in France found five gold bars and several gold coins while digging in his backyard to build a swimming pool. The treasure has been valued at around 700,000 euros, or 1.17 billion won. Officials said the items had no archaeological value, so the man can legally keep them under French law. Serial numbers showed the gold was made at a Lyon facility within the past 20 years. As the home’s former owner is deceased, the mystery of the hidden gold will go unsolved.
