According to local claims, the container reportedly contained old gold and silver coins along with other valuable items. However, there is currently no official confirmation regarding the nature, quantity or value of the items allegedly recovered from the site.

The exact contents of the suspected discovery are expected to become clear only after an official investigation and verification.
