What is the most expensive item found in the trash?
Recently, an 1, 800 year old stone carving of a head of a Roman god was found in an old trash heap. This find was announced on July 3rd by Archaelogists in The United Kingdom.
The 8 inch tall statue head was probably thrown into the trash in the fourth century during the abandonment of the fort.
Who was this Roman god? Sources are scant and theories abound however this head bears a resemblance to other pieces portraying "Antenociticus."
Found by an undergraduate student near the old Roman fort, this stone head is worth "literally tens of thousands of pounds."
My grandfather found a diamond ring while dropping off items at a garbage dump, so you never know where you may find treasure....
