noun
valuables; valuable articles
Refers to items of monetary value, often in contexts like theft, insurance, or safekeeping.

貴重品 is a more formal term for valuables, often used in official contexts like lost-and-found or storage. 金目のもの is more colloquial and emphasizes monetary worth.
Compound of 金目 (かねめ, 'monetary value') + の (possessive particle) + もの (thing). The word 金目 itself derives from 金 (かね, 'money') + 目 (め, 'value/weight').
