trove
Stockpile of riches
A trove is a collection of valuable or interesting things that have been discovered or accumulated.
The word usually appears as treasure trove, originally a legal term for found valuables whose owner is unknown, now used broadly for any rich find: a trove of old photographs, a trove of documents.
Standing alone, trove retains this sense of discovered abundance.
