A local resident of Tan Bac Commune in Trang Bom District in the southern province of Dong Nai by chance discovered some priceless antique items and decided to hand them over to local authorities on August 18.
Pham Khien, a resident of Tan Bac Commune, on August 17 went into the jungle in the hills to search for medicinal plants. While he was digging to uproot a medicinal plant at a depth of two meters in the ground, he came across a nylon bag which contained some antiques comprising of a cylindrical box carved with three gods, four small statues, three gold rings and 10 coins of different sizes.
Khien said that many people offered to buy these items from him for tens of millions of dong. However, he refused to sell to them and instead handed them over to a local authorized agency in Trang Bom District, for verifying the real value of these items.
