troves
Caches of riches
Troves is the plural of trove, a store of valuable things.
The word almost always appears as treasure troves—collections of precious items, whether literal hoards of gold or figurative riches: The archive proved a trove of unpublished letters.
A trove suggests discovery, something stumbled upon rather than assembled.
