How the Gold Coin Rumours Started
The sudden rush began after soil dumped near the village reportedly revealed 50 to 100 shiny, ancient-looking gold coins. Locals believe the coins may be around 500 years old, though no official confirmation has been made yet.
Link to Rajgarh Palace Excavation
The excitement traces back to Rajgarh Palace, where large-scale excavation work was recently carried out as part of its conversion into a luxury hotel by the Oberoi Group.
- Soil from the excavation was dumped near a nearby hamlet
- Soon after, villagers reportedly found gold coins in the dumped earth
- This triggered widespread belief that more coins are hidden underground
Village Turns Into a Digging Zone
Following the rumours:
- Entire families began digging, including elders and children
- Nearby villages also joined the search
- Farmlands and open plots were dug up extensively
- The village resembled a gold excavation site rather than a settlement
Sarpanch Confirms Coin Discovery
When locals were questioned, the village sarpanch confirmed that gold coins were indeed found in the area. However, authorities and experts are yet to:
- Verify whether the coins are genuine gold
- Determine their age and historical value
- Assess whether the coins are protected antiquities
Experts Yet to Authenticate the Coins
Officials have clarified that:
- No archaeological verification has been completed
- The value and origin of the coins remain unconfirmed
- Unauthorized digging could lead to legal action if antiquities are involved
Similar Incident Recently Reported in Karnataka
Just days earlier, a similar discovery was reported in Karnataka. In Lakkundi, during the construction of a house:
- A pot containing centuries-old gold ornaments and bowls was unearthed
- The total weight of the gold was around one kilogram
- The find created statewide attention
Why India Is Called the Land of Gold
With back-to-back discoveries in Karnataka and now Madhya Pradesh, many are recalling why elders often describe India as a land rich in hidden treasures and heritage.
As the gold coin hunt near Chhatarpur continues, authorities are expected to step in soon to investigate the authenticity of the coins and prevent further uncontrolled digging in the village.
