A group of metal detectorists in Poland made an unexpected discovery while searching for remnants of World War II in a forest. Łukasz Istelski and two others from the Szczecin Exploration Group Association were using metal detectors when one of them shouted about a find. They uncovered a corroded metal can buried about 6 to 8 inches deep, which broke apart to reveal dozens of gold coins. The discovery, totaling 70 gold coins worth approximately $24,000, was described as a dream come true by Istelski. The coins included U.S. dollars and rubles, weighing about 14 ounces and ranging from $5 to $20 denominations. Close-up photos of the coins showed the profile of Lady Liberty on the front and an eagle crest on the back. Pre-1933 gold coins like these are considered rare, as most were heavily circulated and melted down during the federal gold recall in the 1930s. The origin of the treasure remains a mystery, but it is suspected to be linked to war activities. The cache of gold coins will be handed over to the district government. The city of Szczecin, where the discovery was made, is located in northwestern Poland near the German border.
