金屬探測器發現了一批硬幣寶藏，這些硬幣可能屬於一個騙子，他在騙取人們的錢財後隱藏在波蘭的山區

在整個 17 世紀末和 18 世紀初，「隱士、冒險家和虛假利潤」安東尼·雅切夫斯基 (Antoni Jaczewski) 在凱爾採 (Kielce) 欺騙人們

In the mountains of south-central Poland, metal detectorists have unearthed a treasure trove of coins that may have belonged to a charlatan who swindled people out of their money and hid in the mountains after his schemes were discovered.

在波蘭中南部的山區，金屬探測器發現了一個硬幣寶庫，這些硬幣可能屬於一個江湖騙子，他騙取人們的錢財，並在其計劃被發現後躲藏在山里。

Throughout the late 17th century and early 18th century, Antoni Jaczewski, a "hermit, adventurer and false profit," defrauded people in Kielce, a city near the Jeleniowskie mountain range, according to a May 8 translated Facebook post (opens in new tab) from the Provincial Office for the Protection of Monuments in Kielce.

根據5 月8 日翻譯的Facebook 帖子（在新標籤中打開），在整個17 世紀末和18 世紀初，“隱士、冒險家和虛假利潤”安東尼·雅澤夫斯基(Antoni Jaczewski) 在耶萊尼奧斯基(Jeleniowskie) 山脈附近的城市凱爾採(Kielce) 欺騙了人們。

According to Polish legend, Jaczewski would "convince people of his healing power," which he had received "from the mother of God, who lived with him in the wilderness," then lured them to his mountain settlement, the statement reads.

聲明稱，根據波蘭傳說，雅切夫斯基會“讓人們相信他的治愈能力”，這是他“從與他一起生活在荒野的上帝之母那裡”獲得的，然後引誘他們到他的山區定居點。

At the time, Poland was at war and a plague was sweeping across the country, a double whammy that apparently convinced people to travel to see Jaczewski. In exchange for receiving his healing practices, citizens paid him in gold and silver coins.

當時，波蘭正處於戰爭狀態，一場瘟疫席捲全國，雙重打擊顯然促使人們前往探望雅切夫斯基。作為接受他的治療方法的交換，公民用金幣和銀幣支付給他。

Authorities eventually captured and detained him, but he later escaped imprisonment and continued scamming citizens. In 1712, he was arrested again, but this time was sentenced to life in prison.

當局最終逮捕並拘留了他，但他後來越獄並繼續詐騙公民。 1712年，他再次被捕，但這次被判處無期徒刑。

Fast forward a few hundred years to 2022, and metal detectorists discovered the cache. However, it would be another two years before authorities announced the finding.

時間快轉到 2022 年，金屬探測器發現了這個藏匿處。然而，當局又過了兩年才宣布這項發現。

"We waited a long time to announce this find, almost two years, but it was worth it, today we can say that we have confirmed the true story of a certain legend," Sebastian Grabowiec, the president of the Świętokrzyska Exploration Group, which discovered the treasures, said in a translated statement.

Świętokrzyska 勘探集團總裁 Sebastian Grabowiec 表示：「我們等了很長時間才宣布這一發現，幾乎兩年了，但這是值得的，今天我們可以說，我們已經證實了某個傳說的真實故事。」一份翻譯聲明中說，發現了寶藏。

In addition to the coins, the group also discovered a gold Hamburg ducat from 1648 that contained the image of Madonna and child. Because the piece was pierced, experts think that it may have been worn as a medallion, according to the Facebook post.

除了硬幣之外，團隊還發現了一枚 1648 年的漢堡金幣，上面有麥當娜和孩子的圖像。根據 Facebook 的帖子，由於這件作品被穿孔，專家認為它可能是作為獎章佩戴的。

Until "this time, Antoni was considered a fictitious person/myth/legend," Sebastian Grabowiec, a metal detectorist who headed the exploration group, told Live Science in an email. "By finding his treasure, we confirmed that such a person really existed."

負責勘探小組的金屬探測器專家塞巴斯蒂安·格拉博維茨（Sebastian Grabowiec）在一封電子郵件中告訴《生活科學》，「直到這一次，安東尼都被認為是一個虛構的人/神話/傳說」。 “通過找到他的寶藏，我們確認了這個人確實存在。”

Authorities have not yet announced how many coins have been discovered, since the investigation is ongoing, Garbowiec said.

加博維茨說，由於調查仍在進行中，當局尚未宣布發現了多少枚硬幣。

"I can only tell [you] that there [are] plenty of them," he said. "We have coins from the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries; they are mostly made from silver."

「我只能告訴你，這樣的人有很多，」他說。 “我們有 17 世紀末和 18 世紀初的硬幣；它們大多是銀製的。”
