Growing up, my dad told me about an incredible buried treasure family journey — how my great-grandfather, Richard Pein, hid gold coins beneath his pig barn in Germany as WWII drew to a close. Now, 73 years later, I finally traveled to the house to see the legendary treasure site for myself.

Returning to My Ancestors’ Home in Germany

This trip wasn’t just about a legend — it was about connecting with my family’s history. Standing in the home where my ancestors once lived, and walking the ground they once walked, made the story feel real in a way I never imagined.

Discovering the Story Behind the Treasure

Visiting the house and speaking with the current homeowners gave me insight into my great-grandfather’s life and the community that witnessed the legend unfold. Each room, each piece of furniture, carried decades of memory and history — it was like stepping back in time.
