1700 year old Statue Found on Beach

The Washington Post is reporting that a Roman-era statue was found on the beach in Israel. The statue was unearthed due to a storm with high winds and waves crashing on the shore. I love this quote: The headless marble statue of a woman was found buried in the sand by a resident walking near the shore in the southern city of Ashkelon.

An everyday person stumbles upon an ancient beauty! Okay I'm so continuing my quest to find buried treasure... it could happen ;-)
