Pot of 2,500-year-old gold coins discovered in Turkey

In the ancient city-state of Notion in Turkey, a wine vessel filled with gold coins of the "daric" type was discovered.

Mystery of anonymous Bronze Age axes solved

As we reported in a previous article, two Bronze Age axes were sent anonymously to the National Museum of Ireland last month.

Detective anonymously sent his find to museum; fears conviction

The National Museum of Ireland recently received a package containing two perfectly preserved Bronze Age axes.

It is one of the countries where, thanks to a strict law, the vast majority of finds end up in privatecollections, and people who would like to cooperate in safe circumstances prefer to search in secret.
