In the ancient city-state of Notion in Turkey, a wine vessel filled with gold coins of the "daric" type was discovered. They date from the 5th century BC and were probably minted in Sardis, about 100 km from the site of the discovery.

The National Museum of Ireland recently received a package containing two perfectly preserved Bronze Age axes. The donor was an anonymous metal detectorist who wanted to share his common cultural heritage, but at the same time fears criminalisation - in Ireland, metal detecting is banned and carries a heavy fine and imprisonment. 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.
