Rare Pirate Silver Coins: Secrets of Shipwrecks Part 2!​

It’s not often that you get a chance to find a cache of ancient coins twice in your lifetime, but that is exactly what happened to some brothers in Norway; adding a twist to the story, the same cache was discovered twice.

The adventure started 60 years ago; Jan Gunnar Fugelsnes and his brother were digging under their local church, hunting for treasure in 1964. The two boys uncovered 14 silver coins.

Although the brothers didn’t know what they had, the coins were carefully kept in a small yellow Kodak slide box and forgotten about until Fugelsnes came across them last November.

Fugelsnes, who still lives in the area, handed the cache of coins to authorities in the Møre og Romsdal county in Northwestern Norway.

"We were just children on a treasure hunt under the church; we didn't realize how rare the coins were," Fugelsnes said in a statement released by the county. "In addition, we found three fittings, an amber pearl and nine needles that day."

Carl-Fredrik Wahr-Hansen Vemmestad, the archaeologist for Møre og Romsdal, said that some of the coins are about 600 years old and are incredibly rare artifacts.

According to the researchers, some of the coins may have originated from the reign of Magnus VI, the King of Norway until 1280. A "newer" coin in the collection dates to the reign of Christian I, who ruled Norway from 1450 to 1481.

A great catch! Couple finds $100,000 cash while magnet fishing in New York City park​

Money doesn’t grow on trees, but for one New York couple it emerges from the filthy gunk at the bottom of a city pond.

James Kane and Barbie Agostini were magnet fishing — using a cable to toss a powerful magnet into a body of water — in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens on Friday when they “hooked” something big.

They yanked up their haul and discovered their magnet had grabbed onto a safe - with bundles of $100 bills inside. The soggy, but intact, bills were a new $100,000 fortune for the couple.

“We pulled out and it was two stacks of freaking hundreds,” Kane told NY1.
