JERUSALEM Jamon Brown Womens Jersey , March 9 (Xinhua) -- Rare coins and jewelry from the time of Alexander the Great have been found by chance in a cave in northern Israel, officials with the Israel Antiquities Authority said on Monday.

"Presumably the cache was hidden in the hope of better days, but today we know that whoever buried the treasure never returned to collect it John Kelly Womens Jersey ," the authority said.


Archeologists with the Israel Antiquities Authority believe this is one of the important discoveries to come to light in the north of the country in recent years.

They wandered and crawled between the different parts of a stalactite cave for several hours, as a shinning object caught their eyes.


They reported the find to the Antiquities Authority John Franklin-Myers Womens Jersey , which sent researchers that have examined the cave over the past two weeks.


The discovery comes a month after a hoard of at least 2,000 ancient gold coins was accidentally discovered by divers off the coast of Caesarea, north of Tel Aviv, in the largest gold trove ever discovered in Israel.
