Belgian workers find gold trove worth about $10.4 million in cellar walls

Both the CBS News article and BBC independently confirm every core element of the claim: workers in Dendermonde, Belgium, discovered gold (approximately €9m / $10.4m) hidden in cellar walls during renovation of a charity-owned house (CAW East-Flanders / Oost-Vlaanderen); police secured the hoard; and ownership remains legally unclear. Local police Facebook photos referenced by multiple outlets confirm the 'about 50 gold bars and piles of coins' detail. Some outlets used a higher $17.6m conversion figure, but the €9m/$10.4m figure in the claim is directly supported by the primary CBS and BBC reporting.
