Today's Wacky But True:

Mary Hannaby found this 500 year-old solid gold pendant with her metal detector last week. The pendant features the holy trinity and experts estimate that it is from the 15th Century. They have estimated its worth at $412,000! Under the law, museums have the first opportunity to purchase any artifact over 300 years old. Since many museums are struggling to survive financially, Mary has the opportunity to sell it at an auction house for even more. Get out the metal detector ... like Mary, you too may be surprised to find something of great value!
