They were searching for an old infirmary. What they uncovered was an "exceptional and extremely rare treasure": 2,200 silver coins, 21 gold coins, a gold signet ring, gold foil, and a circular object also made of gold.
It's a collection unlike any ever found, according to French archaeologists, who made the discovery together with students from the University of Lyon, per a release.
