susanfoster+FollowMetal Detectorists Are Striking Gold!Britain is basically living out a real-life treasure hunt right now—thanks to metal detectorists! This year saw a record-breaking number of ancient finds, from a stash of silver coins possibly buried before the Battle of Hastings to rare Roman carriage bling. Nearly all these discoveries came from regular folks with metal detectors, not pros. The British Museum is loving it, calling these hobbyists “vital” to preserving history. Who knew your neighbor could be sitting on a medieval jackpot? #History #treasurehunt #metaldetecting20Share

susanfoster+FollowAncient Bling with a Mysterious PastMetal detectorists just stumbled on a stash of Anglo-Saxon gold pendants and a brooch in England, and the backstory is wild. These 1,400-year-old jewels weren’t found in a grave but buried together on a hillside—maybe hidden for safekeeping, or even as part of a ritual to 'kill' their power. No bones, no beads, just pure treasure and a ton of unanswered questions. Imagine finding that on your weekend walk! #History #AngloSaxon #TreasureHunt30Share
susanfoster+Follow$20B Shipwreck Treasure Found!Imagine stumbling on a real-life pirate jackpot: archaeologists just pulled up treasure from the legendary San José galleon, aka the “Holy Grail of shipwrecks.” This ship sank in 1708 with gold, silver, and emeralds possibly worth $20 billion! The first finds—a porcelain cup, coins, and a bronze cannon—are just the start. But the drama’s not over: Colombia, Spain, and even U.S. investors are all fighting over who gets the loot. Would you dive for treasure this deep? #History #treasurehunt #archaeology627Share
jennifercooley+FollowFound a Bracelet in My Washing Machine. A Friend Says It Could Be Worth a FortuneI'm in a new apartment and a few days ago, I found this bracelet tangled up in the washing machine. I didn't think anything of it, just put it aside and forgot about it. Today, I showed it to a friend and she told me it looked like it could be high karat gold. I got out a magnifying glass and found a stamp on it that says 99m. There's also some kind of maker's mark next to it that isn't in English. I have no idea what "99m" means. Does this mean this thing is 24 karat gold? Can anyone out there help me figure out what this bracelet is? #FoundTreasure #Mystery #Gold #Jewelry #WhatsThis #TreasureHunt #HelpMe 951790Share
