Find history

The depot was discovered southwest of Jičíněves in November 1880 while plowing in a field near a stream. The earth is said to have been a little blacker at the site than in the surrounding area, otherwise no further findings were found. Around 1821 the first deposit was discovered in an unknown location in Jičíněves , but it dates back to the late Bronze Age.
