In the picturesque South-eastern German town of Passau, a group of construction workers happened upon a stash of gold while performing demolition work.

Inscribed with the words "Swiss Bank," the gold bullion is expected to be worth just under a million euros ($1.12 million, spokeswoman for the Bavarian city told "Passauer Neue Presse," the German news agency DPA reported.

Twice in one week

The discovery of gold at the construction site occurred twice in the same week, once on Wednesday and again on Friday, the first time of which was discovered by the construction worker.

It is still unclear whether more gold bullion is located at the construction site. Investigations by police are ongoing.

1. Will the Germans will claim "finders, keepers" even if it the bullion

says Swiss Bank on it?

2. Is there even a bank actually named that?

I know people talk about 'Swiss Bank Accounts', but I'm assuming they're with specific banks located in Switzerland, not a single monolithic bank named the 'Swiss Bank'.

3. There has been numerous cases where there are phony bars...

hollowed out and filled with tungsten. Each bar has serial number and should be traceable.
