An Indian man known by residents as something of a fortune teller has found 10 bars of gold after digging under his kitchen.<BR/><BR/>Each golden bar has the picture of former president Sukarno on it and now Bogor police have seized one of the bars to value it.<BR/><BR/>According to Mr Saepudin, he heard a voice in his dream to dig the hole and could hear the voice as he dug deeper with neighbours.<BR/><BR/>"When the hole was three meters deep, we found two bars of gold -- and more until we reached four-and-a-half meters. The voice told me to use most of the gold to help the poor so that I would go to heaven ... the rest I could use for my own interests," Mr Saepudin told The Jakarta Post.<BR/><BR/>The bars also feature the Indonesian symbol for prosperity and are imprinted with '999.9 London 1 kg' and '24 carat gold'.<BR/><BR/>Reportedly the man also claims to have found jewellery back in March on his father's property.<img src="http://directnews.dehavilland.co.uk/dn.gif?feedid=196&itemid=2696401"/>
