Builders find £7.6m in gold hidden in Belgian house walls
Construction workers discovered gold bars and coins worth about £7.6 million sealed in a cellar wall while laying new sewage pipes. The property belongs to a local charity, CAW Oost-Vlaanderen, which hopes the find could help its welfare work. Under Belgian law, the hoard's rightful owner is allowed five years to claim it, otherwise the finders and a charity will divide it.
