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.

      They probably take them to a museum, at least that's what I've seen.

        Woah!!!! That is so awesome!!!! Before I was born at our house (we don't live there anymore) found pennies from the 18 hundreds (but that's only 200 years old, not anywhere close to 1,100 years old!) in our yard that my oldest siblings dug up. It's not nearly as cool as this though! I would love finding something this awesome and old!

              I know that's impressive right? I didn't think that could buy something big as a mansion!!!

                I honestly wouldn't want a mansion. Even if I won AGT or something.
