A group of divers in Israel has discovered almost 2,000 ancient gold coins

"You didn't find that!" According to an earlier Daily Mail article:

Experts who eventually counted 2,000 pieces, dating back more than 1,000 years, described the discovery as 'priceless.' The coins are now property of the state with no finder's fee for the divers.

Looks like Obama and Israel finally have something in common!

That's how you turn this guy into a jihadi.

Thanks for the link.

That is a stupid law. It encourages finders to keep a few and melt them down.
