3. After the Gold Rush

Over half a century has passed since a hoard of gold coins was found in the remains of a tenement building in Belfast. Where are the coins now? Or have they been lost to time?

Eps 3/3 After the Gold Rush

In the summer of 1969, weeks before the Troubles would ignite, children playing in the rubble of a demolition site struck gold! While searching for treasure hundreds, maybe thousands of gold sovereigns, hidden and forgotten years before, tumbled to the ground from a chimney stack. More than 50 years later, author Glenn Patterson visits the Lower Shankill Road to find out who the coins belonged to. Why were they hidden? And where are they now?
