Beijing: Two Chinese scavengers literally struck gold when they found jewellery worth $133,919 while sifting through a garbage pile.
Zhou Jingxia and her husband Liu Yuhua, both trash recyclers from Henan Province of China, came across two boxes containing solid-gold rings and necklaces while scavenging at a waste station in Chang-chun, Jilin province, earlier this month. The recovered jewellery has been returned to its rightful owner, police said.
A jewellery dealer, surnamed Chen, had reported the missing gold to police. He explained it had been overlooked while making a shipment from Changchun to Shenzhen, Guangdong province, 'Global Times' reported.
The couple carried the three-kilogramme load around until police tracked down the property.
