The media reported on the discovery of more than $4 billion worth of gold by a farmer from France.

French farmer Michel Dupont was walking around his property and discovered gold worth a total of $4.03 billion, but he won't get it. This was reported on May 22 by the British newspaper Mirror.

"I was just conducting a routine inspection of my land. And then I saw a strange glow in the mud. When I dug a little deeper, I couldn't believe what I was holding in my hands," DuPont said.

It turned out that he had found about 150 tons of gold nuggets.

The French authorities quickly intervened so that the farmer could not dispose of his find, and now, if Michel wants to mine ore on the territory of his farm, he will need government approval, as well as the necessary technical and environmental assessments, the material says.

"They (the French authorities. They told me that nothing would work until all the tests were done," DuPont added.

In March last year, the American edition of the Miami Herald reported that Norwegian Jan Gunnar Fugelsnes handed over to archaeologists the ancient artifacts he had found, which he had kept and had not shown to anyone since 1964. It turned out that his coins date back to the 14th century, they are made of silver. The amber bead, according to archaeologists, was a fragment of medieval prayer beads, and the needles turned out to be at least 700 years old.
