Centuries-old artifacts found in B.C. thrift store
Simon Fraser University's Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology has accepted a donation of 11 rings and two medallions from an unlikely source: A thrift store in Chilliwack, B.C., where they were on sale for $30. The artifacts are believed to be centuries old, though much more research is needed to determine their provenance.
