Gold Coins Discovered in Israel by Jesse Dale

A couple of amateur divers accidentally found some 2,000 gold coins in the ocean. Officials say they date back about a thousand years and they are from the Fatamid Era. They were called a rare and interesting piece of history that is not usually seen, and it can help advance the history of around Israel.

I think it's really fascinating that something man made like that can last for so long, especially in the water. Things like this make me want to learn more history and how things came to be. there are probably thousands of more discoveries like that down there and other places they haven't looked, and they will just keep getting more and more exciting the more they find.
