Jewerly hidden during WWII unearthed in NE Hungary
Archeologists discovered an iron chest containing jewerly worth nearly Ft 1 million (roughly €4,000) in October in Miskolc, but the discovery was not reported until now.
According to hirtv.hu, archeologists were working in the area behind the former Avas Hotel, when they unearthed the foundation of a building, parts of its walls and a chest containing jewerly.
The chest and its contents are currently stored in a safe deposit box at the Ottó Herman Museum. The director of the museum said that the jewelry was probably hidden during WWII. The owners are being searched for.
