Two men spent the better part of 30 years searching for buried treasure, which they incredibly finally found.
These guys wanted to see how people would react if they saw them digging up a treasure chest full of gold (chocolate) coins.
From time to time the municipality of Rome cleans the famous Trevi Fountain and gathers coins thrown by tourists “for luck.” This procedure is performed under the supervision of Carabinieri who count all coins. According to the special order, each coin becomes community property once it has touched the bottom of the fountain. Tourist donations bring Rome hundreds of thousands of euros annually. These funds used to go to the charity. But during the time of crisis, Rome has decided to spend them on the needs of the city.
These guys earned some nice money.
It is truly amazing what can be made out of trash if you are an artist. This art collection was made out of nothing but trash but in the hands of a gifted artist it turns out to be some incredible artwork. One man’s trash truly is another man’s treasure.
