Boy uncovers hidden gold in Esplugas Spain table
A schoolboy in Esplugas unintentionally uncovered a secret drawer when a parish priest's table toppled. Coins from the reigns of Philip III, Charles III, and Charles IV, totaling over half a million pesetas, were found and the priest rewarded the boy with 16 ounces of gold. The table had long been part of village life and even served as a voting urn last November. A hippopotamus stomach note appears as a curious aside.
