10. Elizabethan Gold Ring
Factory worker and metal detectorist Ben Bishop was searching a farmer’s field in Glastonbury, England in 2018 when he found what he at first thought was a Coke can ring-pull thingy. Not very exciting. But, surprise surprise, the object turned out to be something much more valuable: an Elizabethan gold signet ring dating back to sometime between 1550 and 1650, around 500 years old, with an estimated value of over $13,000 (£10,000).

9. Girl Discovers Iron Age Sword
Saga Vanecek, an eight-year-old Swedish girl, was skipping rocks at Vidöstern Lake during the summer 2018 when she unearthed an ancient, 31-and-a-half-inch (80 cm) Iron Age sword. She literally pulled a sword out of a lake, kind of magical, don't you think?

8. Hidden Treasure Trove
In 2015, a hobby antique collector named Emil Knodell purchased a seemingly ordinary chest at an estate sale in Missouri City, Texas for $100 after its marble top caught his eye. “Because it has a nice marble top, I hope to use it in my dining room,” the retired marketing director told ABC News.

7. Shipwreck Champagne
In 2010, a crew of divers exploring near Mariehamn, the capital of the Finnish Åland Islands archipelago, discovered a shipwreck! Inside there were 168 bottles of champagne dating back 170 years. Located about 160 feet (48.8 meters) beneath the water’s surface, seventy-nine of the bottles were still drinkable.

6. Buried Artillery
In 2012, flooding brought on by Cyclone Nilam exposed five pieces of buried artillery on the northeastern shore of Sri Lanka. Soldiers discovered the weapons as part of a search operation following the storm. They had been concealed years earlier by the Tamil Tiger (LTTE) separatist group during the country’s decades-long civil war. The items were found in a “No Fire Zone” near the shipwreck of the Farah III, a Jordanian vessel that the Tigers captured in 2006 when it ran aground.

5. America’s Earliest Arrivals?
When the first human inhabitants of the Americas arrived has long been a topic of debate among scholars. A paper published earlier this year in the journal Nature set that proposed date back further than ever before, following the discovery of evidence of human habitation in a cave in Mexico as early as 30,000 years ago.

4. Notre Dame Clock Replica
The catastrophic April 2018 fire of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris saw the destruction of the church’s iconic six-and-a-half foot (2 meters) clock, which was destroyed when the building’s spire and roof crashed down. Thankfully, enough of the monument was spared from the blaze for restoration to be a realistic prospect.

3. Talayot Sword
While preparing to publicly open an ancient megalithic site called “Talaiot del Serral de ses Abelles” on the Spanish island of Mallorca in 2019, archaeologists Jaume Deya and Pablo Galera uncovered a remarkably preserved 3,200-year-old Bronze Age sword. The artifact, which dates back to 1200 B.C., appeared nearly 70 years after the site was first excavated in 1950, and after it was looted on numerous occasions since the Roman period.

2. Modern Artifacts In An Ancient Dig
While searching for ancient artifacts at the Rosh Ha'Ayin excavation site in Israel in 2017, archaeologists unexpectedly discovered artifacts from a World War I battle between the Ottomans and the British. Instead of finding items relating to the nearby ancient biblical fortress of Antipatris, the discoveries included shrapnel, rifle cartridges, British military insignia, and two nearby Ottoman military outposts.

1. Ring Of Mistaken Origins
When a trio of archaeologists discovered a ring in Grzybowo, Poland in 2003, they initially assumed it was a Viking artifact based on its design featuring animals and a dense weave pattern. Upon closer examination, experts determined that the ring, which dates back to the 9th or 10th century, more closely resembles artifacts relating to the Carolingians of Western Europe, not Scandinavia, as previously thought.
