An amateur archaeologist found 10 gold coins in 2014 in northern Germany. Later 207 more gold coins were found by using a metal detector. These coins are of French, Belgian, Italian and Austro-Hungarian origins and date from 1831 to 1910. These coins were a part of Nazi central bank. Though the man found the coins, he could not keep them. The coins were worth 45,000 euros but he was given only 2.5 thousand euros.
