The Sofia Echo news page reported later yesterday that archaeologists from Varna discovered one of the largest medieval treasures in recent times. This is also the largest discovery in 2010 during excavation works in the medieval city of Kastritsi in Euxinograd, on August 4, news agency Focus reported.
The treasure was discovered embedded in the floor of a home within the medieval stronghold, the report said.
According to associate professor Valentin Pletnyov, head of the Regional History Museum in Varna, the treasure consisted of a small jug dating back to the 14th century, containing 166 silver coins from the era of Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria and his son Mihail, Focus reported.
The archaeologists also unearthed parts of utensils and swords.
“We hope that more artifacts will be discovered during the excavation works ahead,” Pletnyov said.
According to the professor, this is one of the biggest medieval treasures found in Bulgaria in 2010.
So it seems like smart phones can do just about everything. But could you compare a real Metal Detector to a pocket application copy of one? The android phone was one of the first smart phones to release the application, now Iphone has came out with their own metal detecting application as well. Check it out below!
This morning, I came across a new event that the website www.welostourgold.com made videos which gives clues to unlock the mystery of where their “buried treasure” is to find.
An individual can now view the first video and unlock one of eight video clues since yesterday. The site claims there is $10,000 in US currency buried in a wooden chest somewhere within the five boroughs. All you have to do is decode the videos, and the treasures all yours.
“We wanted to create a real treasure hunt.” says a message posted by on the site by its creators.”And there’s a chest of “gold” waiting to be found. We’ve always wanted to experience the excitement of searching for pirate treasure, so we decided to give that feeling to everyone else.”
While the website is called “welostourgold.com” the creators say there’s no real gold out there. “The treasure is 10,000 US mint one-dollar coins. Most of them are Sacagawea dollars, or the new presidential one-dollar coins,” is posted in the frequently asked questions on the site. They also note that the new coins are gold colored so it will give you the pirate feel.
The site is leased through godaddy.com, and was created back in October of 2006, no owners are listed and the landlubbers say they are not telling.
We don’t know where the treasure is buried, but we can tell you that it’s not buried in Central Park. The site’s creators say they love the City but don’t want to encourage anyone to start digging up the park or anywhere else.
So you’ll have to trust the three puppet pirates and the ninja, watch the videos, and hopefully uncover the buried treasure hiding under New York City. Or else just be roped into the latest viral marketing campaign
