These treasures were found...but in very weird ways. Here's another batch -- including railroad signs used as floorboards (more than $200,000 worth!) and some beautiful silver treasures found underneath a destroyed synagogue.

And these people were in the right place at the right time, discovering everything from gold coins to a copy of the Declaration of Independence.
Think I'll start combing Ebay for a copy of Tamerlane ...only a handful of copies found so far of this early Edgar Allen Poe booklet. The last copy sold, in 2009, fetched $662,500!
