Instead of hitting a literal jackpot, a group of amateur archaeologists hit three of them in the woods near Kaliz, Poland. In just five weeks, they discovered three ceramic containers, each from different periods of different periods. The third one with a single treasure: a fresh gold Torc weighs 222 grams, the first product of its kind ever made in Poland.

Denar Kalisz Group has teamed up with Kalisz’s Voivodeship Informant to explore Zbiersk’s Grodziec Forest District this summer. In early June, they discovered the cemetery of the Przeworsk culture from the Roman period, which contained a tomb of a warrior with a spearhead and a shield boss.

A few days later, they discovered an 11th-century coin and a small ceramic ship with a serrated exterior. It was stuffed with soil so they couldn’t see the inside, and the team wrapped the delicate pot to protect it for transportation and careful digging and mined it at the University of Science in Calis, but the loose coins found nearby suggest that there might be more of the same coins inside the pot. This is indeed a sign of premature. That small pot contains 631 coins and pieces.

At the end of June, the second pot comes out of the soil. It is also found that it contains coins.

Two weeks later, the grand prize was third, which was a flash of gold. In the tightly packed soil, a curved piece of gold can be seen around the neck of the pot. Initially, the team thought it was a bracelet, but the X-rays showed it was a complete necklace with hooks and loops closed, bent and folded like pretzels and can be placed in the pan. Archaeologists believe this dates back to the 5th century and may be related to the Goths who occupied the Polish region during immigration. Similar examples were found in Scandinavia, with rune inscriptions sometimes.
