Ancient Bronze Bracelet Found in Poland

Polish treasure hunters have uncovered a 2,800-year-old bronze bracelet in the Kociewski region. Where is it? Of northern Poland. The discovery was made when a metal detector used by one of the group members gave off a strong signal, leading to a light dig. And I thought the big heavy one was a bronze bracelet that surprised our group in the hole.

The bracelet weighs 267 grams, reports the Kociewie Treasure Hunters association. At the same location, they also found two ancient brooches and a bit of another piece of jewellery the next day.

The expedition leader, Cezary Modrzejewski, told local media the bracelet was only a little squashed and survived pretty well despite being buried just 20 centimetres underground. He guessed that the object goes back to perhaps the 8th or 9th century, and related it to a time in the Bronze Age.

Not Resold, Rather a Conservation Artefact
There have been some attempts at treasure hunting, but as per standard protocol, the artefact uncovered will not see any monetary payment go to its finders. A spokesperson for the regional conservation office will then sign off on transferring the bracelet and some other pieces to the nearby Archaeological Museum in Gdańsk.

The find, he said, was the property of the State Treasury by law. Those who found it can get a certificate of recognition, but there is no cash prize for the time being. The currency would not be cashed in before 2027, and only after then will the new monument protection act come into force, compensating in cases like this one.

The group said that while they had not found treasure or other valuable items, they were sure to have stumbled upon something solid in the country's history with this Bronze Age find.

    Hegseth Forces Top US Europe Commander Into Early Retirement

    Another senior US military figure has been shown the door. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has pushed General Christopher Donahue into early retirement, removing one of the Army's most respected commanders from a role he had held for less than two years. Donahue, who has served as the head of US Army Europe and Africa since late 2024 and also holds the position of NATO's top land forces commander, will officially step down on July 2. The move is part of a broader and deeply controversial restructuring of America's senior military leadership under the Trump administration.

    A major Europe-wide traffic operation kicks off Monday, and it is going to last well beyond a single day. Running from June 15 to 21, 2026, the European traffic police association Roadpol is rolling out a coordinated crackdown under the name "Alcohol and Drugs." The operation spans EU member states and goes beyond just pulling drivers over — it combines roadside checks with preventative measures and public education campaigns. The busiest day is expected to be Friday, June 19, when the highest concentration of sobriety patrols will be out on the roads.

    Ukraine Drone Blitz Leaves Russian-Held Crimea Without Fuel

    Petrol stations across Russian-occupied Crimea went dry on Thursday, a visible sign of how effectively Ukraine has been squeezing the peninsula's supply lines from the air. In Sevastopol, the largest city on the peninsula, most filling stations had nothing to offer. Even the rationing system put in place in recent weeks was struggling to function. In the resort town of Yevpatoriya, drivers lined up outside the only station still operating, hoping for whatever little was left.
