“Pathan took them to work at a construction site in Chikhli. During the process of excavating the pillars, the two men found some coins. They gave the coins to Pathan and then returned to the same place and dug up a pile of coins. to search for gold coins. They found broken metal pots and scattered gold coins. Pathan brought all the valuables home,” police officer Sudhir Hiremath told Punekar News.

“Further steps will be taken based on the archeology department’s report,” said police officer Krishna Prakash.
