A diver's spotting something metallic not far from the Sardinian coast has led to the discovery of tens of thousands of ancient bronze coins. Italy's culture ministry said on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023, that the diver alerted authorities, who sent divers assigned to an art protection squad along with others from the ministry's undersea archaeology department. Found in sea grass, not far from the northeast shore of the Mediterranean island were the coins dating from the first half of the 4th century. (Italian Culture Ministry Via AP)
