Kruger Millions

The Kruger Millions is a hoard of gold reputed to have been hidden in South Africa by or on behalf of President Paul Kruger to avoid it being captured by the British during the Boer war. According to myth, about two million pounds in buried gold and diamonds lie hidden in the Blyde River area in the province of Mpumalanga. The treasure is said to consist of hidden gold and coins worth more than US $500,000,000 in today’s terms. Allegedly the treasure was hidden by or for President Paul Kruger at the end of the South African Boer War somewhere between 1899 and 1902.
