All those coffins were traded during transport with coffins full of earth.(Some of them with coins, some without)

The players try to search for the catacombs, but it's a complete labyrinth, no chance.
They find punching equipments inside the tunnel as well as lots of ingots of silver, copper, lead and iron, and other metals. Too many of them.
