A man plowing a field in Bulgaria unearthed a pot of silver coins from the 16th – 18th centuries.
A man has stumbled upon an earthen jar with about 90 silver coins from the 16th-18th century while plowing a field with a tractor in the town of Zahari Stoyanovo, Popovo Municipality, in Northeastern Bulgaria.
Tahir Mehmedov was plowing another man’s field when his tractor hit the earthen jar. Initially, the man did not realize that the clay vessel contained a treasure but he says he liked it and took it with him, the Bulgarian channel Nova TV reports.
