Greek police have recovered all the antiquities stolen in February from a museum in Olympia, the birthplace of the ancient Olympics.

Three men were arrested in the western city of Patras when they tried to sell the most valuable artefact - a gold ring - to an undercover police officer.

Hello,
 
My name is Susanna and I am writing to you from the brand new ITV series, 'Britain's Secret Treasures'.  You might well have heard about the programe, as we look at the top fifty finds in England and Wales over the past 20 years.
 
As part of the programme, we are asking the public to send in photos of items that they have uncovered that the British Museum might be interested in seeing.  Some of the items sent in will be featured on the final programme on Sunday 22nd July. Having seen your website, I thought you might be interested in submitting your finds - or encouraging others to do so.
 
For more information please go to: http://www.itv.com/treasure/yourtreasure/
 
Thank you,
 
All the best,
 
Susanna

The most expensive piece of Titanic memorabilia sold at auction - the 33-feet long design plan - is coming back to Belfast.

The 100-year-old scale drawing was sold last year in England for almost a quarter of a million pounds, but the anonymous buyer has agreed for it to go on show at the new Titanic visitor centre in Belfast.

The findings include golden rings, female figurines and 100 gold buttons. They are thought to date back to the late 4th or early 3rd century BC.

London, England (CNN) -- Though they sit quietly beneath the waves, shipwrecks are a cause of much wrangling above the surface. The issue of underwater archaeology is clouded by concerns about treasure hunting, the safety of wrecks, and the sale of finds.

A planned 2012 exhibition at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, featuring 9th century Chinese artifacts salvaged from a wreck in Indonesian waters in 1998 is at the center of the latest row.

Archaeologists within the institution -- and further afield -- are criticizing the curator's decision to mount the show and, in particular, questioning the nature of the original salvage.

Discovered off the coast of the island Belitung in the Java Sea by fishermen diving for sea cucumbers in 1998, the 9th century Arab dhow was a treasure trove of objects including glazed ceramics, and silver and gold wares.
