Nice find

Rico says al-Reuters does have a bit of good news out of Jerusalem:

Excavations have uncovered one of the largest hoard of gold coins ever found in Jerusalem. A total of 264 gold coins were discovered during archaeological excavations in a car park on the edge of Jerusalem's walled Old City. The coins were among the ruins of a building dating back to about the 7th century, or the end of the Byzantine period.

Rico says that's gotta have been a bit of a thrill... (And they're so shiny.)
