Bulgarian police busted three treasure-hunters as they were trying to sell 61 ancient coins.

Two men from Silistra tried to sell the coins to a man from Razgrad in a vehicle parked at a street in the city. The police moved in and apprehended them on the spot.

Afterwards, during a raid in the two apartments owned by the "buyer", who is unemployed, the officers found more gold, silver and bronze coins from different eras, a bronze ornament, two bronze brooches and a pottery item from the Thracian times.

The three have been indicted and the confiscated coins and historical items will be appraised by experts.
