Amazing. And the best thing about it is that it was discovered by a lowly metal detector hobbyist--you know, one of those guys who likes to spend his weekends walking beaches or empty pastures looking for people's dropped jewelry. Well, read it and weep people. This man's going to be very rich indeed!
I think it's appropriate for me to quote They Might Be Giants at this point:
"'Cause I've got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time
I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector, watch it shine
"Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening
But underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard enough of the sea
Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting
So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground"
Adios.
