Fisherman searching for worms finds 20,000 medieval silver coins
A Swedish man discovered the 12th century buried treasure near his summer home. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. It only costs a few dollars to buy a tub of bait worms for fishing, but many people are fine with sourcing them straight from the ground. There's always a chance you may find more in the dirt than wriggling invertebrates. Take a recent example near Stockholm, Sweden: According to county officials last month, an unnamed fisherman scrounging for worms at his summer house discovered a corroded copper cauldron containing around 13 pounds of treasure from the Middle Ages.
