Russian term

Okh, i mnogo u menia tut nakhapano!

Russian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
novel circa 1900-1910

A former convict is talking to a band of robbers. He has a lot of gold on him. He is going off to get married.

"Priedu v Tambovskuiu guberniiu - zhenius'. Ya teper'...vol'nyi. Ya bogatyi...Okh, i mnogo u menia tut nakhapano! - udaril on po grudi ladon'iu, priiatno oshchupyvaia skol'zom zoloto."

Seems to be referring to something being grabbed, but I don't know what...or when..

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to all answerers. I really like the 'loot' suggestion - it's perfect. Something like "yeah, I've got a whole load of loot right here". Vladimir - just to let you know - 'bosom' refers specifically to a woman's chest/breasts. "
