Construction workers carrying out renovations on a property in east Flanders, Belgium, have uncovered a trove of gold bars and coins concealed within the cellar walls, with the haul estimated to be worth around €9m (£7.6m).The builders made the remarkable find earlier this week while drilling to install new sewage pipes at the site in Dendermonde, a Flemish town of roughly 47,000 residents.The house is owned by CAW Oost-Vlaanderen, a local welfare charity, raising immediate questions about who stands to benefit from the fortune.Under Belgian civil law, both the construction team who unearthed the gold and the charity that holds the property could ultimately have a claim to the hidden treasure.Among the crew was Kobe, an 18-year-old student on a summer job, who was working on the building's foundations when the stash came to light."Our first reaction was actually disbelief, amazement," he told Belgian public broadcaster VRT.
