It seems that the deeper one goes, the Jewish history of the Holy land is always present. From a lost street built by Pontiuns Pilate, a seal of the prophet Isaiah found and a biblical war revealed in a 2800 year old stone altar.
The latest is a Hanukkah gelt. Researchers from the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA) likened the stash of seven gold pieces to "Hanukkah gelt" (those foil-covered chocolate coins that bless Jewish parents with eight nights of stains to clean up), though the coins date to the ninth century, when Israel was under Islamic rule.
