treasure hoard
Buried riches collection
A treasure hoard is a cache of valuable objects—gold, silver, jewels, coins—accumulated and hidden away.
The term often appears in fantasy and archaeology: The dragon guarded its treasure hoard, Archaeologists discovered a Viking treasure hoard in the field.
The phrase is slightly redundant, since hoard alone implies accumulated valuables, but the combination emphasizes both the precious nature and the secretive stockpiling.
