World’s largest ‘treasure hoard’ worth over $20 billion may soon be found.

[: Michael-Robert.]

A team of treasure hunters could be on the verge of unearthing the “world’s largest treasure hoard,” said to be worth over $20 billion.

The team, known as the “Temple Twelve,” have been searching in Finland for the “Lemminkainen Hoard,” which consists of gold, jewels and artifacts, since 1987.

If the hoard is discovered, it is thought it will be the most valuable haul ever found.

The group has been spending their summers searching for the treasure, working six-hour days, seven days a week.

The massive hoard is thought to include some 50,000 gemstones including rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds.

Around 1,000 artifacts dating back thousands of years are also thought to be part of the hoard along with a number of 18-carat gold life-size statues.

Members of the group have traveled from all over the world, including Russia, Australia, the US, Sweden, Norway, Germany and the Netherlands, to join in the hunt.

"The group is believed to be just meters away from unearthing the treasure and think next summer could be the time when it is uncovered.

The Temple Twelve are expected to return to the site in May next year and resume working there in September."

Gee if I was only a few meters away I don't think I'd be waiting 10 months to resume the exploration of a site.

Must be the annual funding drive, you can always spot 'em when they start saying "they are close" or "on the verge". They aren't any closer then they were in 1987.
