After years of being undiscovered, a family member has finally found the treasure buried by his relatives during the Second World War. The Glazewskis buried their silver in eastern Poland when the Russians invaded their country.
The head of the family remained to fight them off but failed. He narrowly escaped from being executed and was chased out of his home. His sons never returned home, but they carried the legend of their family treasure for decades. Now, 80 years later, a grandson was able to discover the treasure.
The man, Jan, was able to follow the path laid out by a treasure map drawn by his father, Gustaw. “My father was getting old and I kind of nagged him, I said ‘please draw me a map – one day I might be able to go to the estate and look for it,” he shared.
The 69-year-old got emotional when he read the map and felt motivated to fulfill his father’s dreams of finding the family’s silver and hunting guns. He began his search in 2019 and was assisted by his niece and two Ukrainian metal detectorists. We’re glad that one of the family members found the treasure, and it was not salvaged!
