Would it be too much to ask to identify the country in which the treasure was found? Not everybody is going to look at the discussion page to see that the treasure is associated with Poland, somehow.165.91.65.141 (talk) 00:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)RKH[reply]
"one of most valuable archeological finds in 20th century"[edit]
