A poor farmer in Brunan, near Prague, has reason to be thankful to a violent storm experienced in the village. An old stone statue standing derelict in his farmyard, which he always laughingly referred to as his mascot, was struck by lightning. Gold, silver, money, jewels, bracelets, rinys, goblets encrusted with precious stones, scattered in thousands of pieces as the statue split asunder. Most of the money bore the date of the sixteenth century, and was doubtless hidden in the statue during the Thirty Years' War. . The coat-of-arms on the goblets belonged to a Protestant nobleman who was forced to flee the country, and who, no doubt, hoped to retrieve his treasures later. The irony of this hidden Wealth is that the back of the statue's head through which the treasure must have been secreted, had fallen out during its journey to the farmer's junk yard, and the frightened peasants delivering it had pushed in a lump of wood to hide it. thus resealing the vast treasures.
