In the UK, a woman has recently come across a treasure that no one knew about until her great granny died at the age of 90.

Margaret Hood said that she had found the treasure, belonging to her late mom, that was wrapped in a supermarket bag and socks.

Initially, the woman found a sapphire ring, but that was only the beginning. When she searched the house further, she found a cache of jewelry so valuable that it has now been dubbed "The Littleover Hoard."
