The ancient city of Moscow has been undergoing renovation all its eight and a half hundred years.

In the ruins of one of the houses, schoolchildren found a bottle filled with jewelry from the late 18th century: necklace with diamonds, brooch with rubies and diamonds, earrings, rings of gold and platinum, studded with precious stones.

In 1997, someone decided to turn over a huge stone that had been lying in front of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts for more than eight decades. Under the boulder were found two revolvers with cartridges, two pairs of cadet shoulder straps and a testament note, hidden there in the fall of 1917 by the White Guard cadets. And the note contained a will to receive a deposit in an English bank, which was successfully done by the lucky one.

In the spring of 1996 archaeologists in Moscow have discovered the largest treasure in the capital. There were 96 thousand coins, cups and vases made of precious metals.

Faberge caches were found at various addresses in Moscow, in Bolshoy Kharitonevsky Lane in the basement among chests with jewels a Stradivari violin wrapped in a rag was lying around; on Shchepkina Street, during the renovation of the mansion, they found five gold bars with a total weight 18 kg.
