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. This is the first ever hoard of gold coins in Asia Minor discovered in an archaeological context. It changes the view of the chronology of Persian coins.

As we reported in a previous article, two Bronze Age axes were sent anonymously to the National Museum of Ireland last month. As it is illegal to search for archaeological artefacts with a metal detector in Ireland, the sender was concerned about criminalisation. After being challenged by the archaeologists and assured that he was not facing any penalties, he eventually turned himself in and brought the archaeologists to the "crime" scene.

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.

A few days ago a very nice and unique find appeared on LP. Since we were looking for the identification, I finally called the finder and added a small interview to the find.
