Two teenagers unearthed a treasure trove of gold coins at an archeological site in Israel (Credit: Yoli Shwartz/ Israel Antiquities Authority)

Every summer, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) invites teenage volunteers to work alongside archeologists at one of several dig sites across the country. The program, designed to provide the youth with an authentic archeology experience and to help them connect with Israel's history, usually results in the discovery of ancient tools or pottery. However, two teenagers at an excavation site in Yavneh, south of Tel Aviv, struck gold — literally— when they unearthed a clay jar filled with gold coins on August 18, 2020.

                  By the way, those coins are possibly shattered, or even broken, and they were underground for years. I don’t think I want that kind of money. 😕

                    But they are historical artifacts that are from a long time ago. You would want one, you can sell one for tons of money

                    Hey, history always comes back with some amazing things, places, or even people. But I doubt we would find someone from 1,100 years ago...
