Golden statue discovered in Afghanistan
Recently a satisfied customer told
us about his amazing discovery with one of our metal
detectors.
Inside a cavity about 4,5 metres under the ground he detected a beautiful golden statue with our Rover_CII detector. The statue was buried there with some other small pieces of metak. The lucky finder told us in an Email:
"It is a power symbol of Persian empires in old time. There was a broker in near us he said it is about 2000 years old. And offer to buy it for about 800.000 $ but I think it may be worth more than that. Also some information is written under it. But I dont know which alphabet is used."
