Octopus Discovers Buried Treasure

An octopus hauled onto a fishing boat had some valuable ancient pottery attached to its suckers.

Korean fisherman Kim Yong-Chul pulled up several octopuses, most of which had shards of pottery attached to their tentacles. One even had a whole plate stuck to it.

The discovery is being hailed as one of the great undersea treasure discoveries of modern times. Officials at the National Maritime Museum in Seoul say the pottery dates back to 12th century.

Mr. Kim will be rewarded by the Museum for his discovery, but just what he will receive is being kept a secret for the time being.
