A European woman recently stumbled upon buried treasure
from the Middle Ages in what archaeologists are calling a
once-in-a-decade discovery.

In a press release that was translated into English, the
Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences
explained that the treasure was found by a woman walking
in Kutná Hora. The town is located in the Central Bohemian
Region of the Czech Republic.

Experts say the treasure discovery is one of the largest
archaeological finds of the past ten years. 

Archaeologists are working diligently to analyze and
archive all of the silver coins found, before putting
them on display.

On May 10, 1869, the presidents of the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific railroads met in Promontory, Utah, and drive a ceremonial
last spike into a rail line that connects their railroads. This made transcontinental railroad travel possible for the first time in U.S.
history. No longer would western-bound travelers need to take
the long and dangerous journey by wagon train.

(FOXNEWS) – Around 300 pieces of silver from two Viking treasures,
with approximately 50 whole coins, were found last fall in a Danish
field at Bramslev.

The coins were located around fives miles away from the Viking
castle Fyrkat, and date back to more than a thousand years ago.

The treasures were found less than 164 feet apart, containing
the coins and cut-up silver jewelry. 

North Jutland Museums said in a statement that the treasures
probably served as a means of payment by weight.

President Barack Obama.
