A thirteenth century hoard of Glass Bracelets found near Volodymyr, Ukraine. While treasures are abundant this was not found with a metal detector (those are found daily, world wide) - and the fragile nature of them, make this treasure rather unique.

This, the largest gold nugget still in existence, found by the wife of a prospector wedged between boulders while walking Turnagain Creek in Northern BC. The nugget weighed 52 Troy Ounces, and was bought by the Royal BC Museum for the price of $1500. The creek was later renamed the Alice Shea Creek in her honour.

Note the late date of the find; almost 50 years after any of the major gold rushes in BC.
There's still a lot left to be found...
