| 3000-year-old Treasure Discovered by Dog. |
It was a typical March day under the Orlické Mountains and Mr. Frankota was walking his dog, Monty, along one of the fields. Suddenly Monty began frantically digging and when Mr. Frankota came to have a look at what all the fuss was about, he noticed that bronze, sickle like objects were appearing.
Eventually, 13 of the sickles, as well as two spear points, three axes and a number of bracelets were discovered. All are dated to be over 3000 years old...

Steve M. sent the following comments on Muntz metal.
I read your article( I love your articles!) about Muntz metal sheathing. Muntz metal is brass which as we know does not last underwater in saltwater at all. It is an alloy of copper and zinc. Zinc is very quick to corrode in saltwater, especially near other more noble metals such as copper. That is why Muntz metal did not stay on the market long, it would dissolve, fairly quickly, where pure copper would last forever. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Tin is super stainless and rust/corrosion resistant but fairly soft. Mixed with copper to make bronze, it is perfect. Better than stainless steel in corrosion resistance.
