Piri Reis Map
The Piri Reis Map is one of the most historically important artifacts in Turkey. This is believed to be the map that Christopher Columbus used when he was exploring the New World. In 1513, it was compiled by an Ottoman admiral and cartographer called Piri Reis. The item is valued at more than $200,000, but we are sure that it is a priceless artifact in Turkey. Only a third of it survives, but it shows Europe, Brazil, and North Africa with great accuracy. Piri relied on ten Arabic maps and four Indian maps to make it.

The Hand Of Faith
A man called Kevin Hillier found the Hand of Faith, which is a nugget of high-quality gold weighing 875 troy ounces or 60 pounds. He discovered it close to Kingtower, Victoria, Australia. It got its name since it looks like an outstretched hand. The Golden Nugget Casino Chain bought it for over $3 million. This was the second-biggest nugget found in the country during the 1900s. The truth is that the Victorian gold rush era brought in much bigger gold nuggets, but it was a pretty short-lived period. Despite this, it is the biggest gold nugget found with the help of a metal detector. That is not a bad record to have at all.
