Youths volunteering at an archaeological dig in central Israel have found 425 gold coins that had lain buried in a clay jar for 1,100 years. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-53889695

Not quite the same but quite entertaining: I have helped a number of people get started metal detecting. Normally I take them on a hunt and teach them the basics and help them buy what they need. But one fellow, I’ll call Mike and I could not get together. He worked at night and lived an hour and a half away, so we had a number of phone conversations and I found YouTube videos for him to watch and then we got him equipped and I “set him free”. A few days later I got a call from him. He was whispering so low I could not understand him. He said he didn’t want anybody to hear what he was about to tell me. Then I learned he was alone in a big field and I told him to speak up. Tjis conversation was burned into my memory for forever. This is the exact way it went. MIKE: I just peed my pants! ME: WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS??!!??!! MIKE: I’ll send you some pictures!! Then he hung up. I told my wife: I think I’m about to get pictures of this guy’s urine soaked trousers! Two minutes later I got a message from him. There were 4 attachments. I finally opened them up. Then I knew and I understood. Had it been me, I’d have done more than peed my pants! This was the SECOND signal he had. His second target. His second find. an !876, $20 Double Eagle gold coin. I’ve never found a gold coin. Once I was positive I had found one until I cleaned the dirt off and saw Chuck E Cheese staring back at me. I hate Mike. Every time we talk I start off our conversations by telling him. He just laughs and insists I really love him. He’s wrong. Lol.
