10 Totally Unexpected Finds People Discovered in Their Backyards

Medieval treasure

In 2007, Andreas K. from Austria found a whole treasury in his backyard: there were about 200 jewelry items, such as rings, brooches, buckles, and silver platters.

The man put it all into a box and carried the fortune into his cellar, forgetting about it for two years. He only remembered about it when he decided to move house. When experts assessed the jewelry, they determined it was about 650 years old. Andreas gave it all to the local museum as a gift.
