A great day of fishing!

Palestinian fisherman Joudat Ghrab could not understand what he was seeing. While fishing he spied something dark underwater while fishing.

Could it be a body or a strange shaped rock?

After diving, he noticed it was a statue, a rather large statue which was made of metal. Most statues are of stone but this was a unique metal example of The God Apollo which was cast sometime between the 5^th and 1^st century BC.

Some doubt has been cast over the discovery as some archaeologists claim this 500-kg statue is too well preserved for a statue retrieved from the ocean.

Until true ownership is determined, the family holds out hopes that they will be rewarded for this spectacular find.

What is this amazing specimen worth?

This was put on an auction site for a price of $500,000 but was removed. It is believed to be worth ten times that amount at a minimum.

Another treasure found near someone's home, what treasures could be near you?
