    You may not find the next OTZI in your hunt, but dang:

    Mysterious cache of jewels turns up atop French glacier - CNN.com

    Gems from 1950 crash have no implications about millenial ice melting. But dang.

    To be clear I mean this as a more fun thread because we are getting wadded undies here lately. Maybe because it's 27 September. Stockholm y'know.

    Maybe the hope of finding jewels on the mountaintops will get more eyes in the field, and we will find more Otzis. Be careful up there.

    I'm hoping the Abominable Snowman will be found, frozen in time, along with his dear little mugwump, and his Southern cousin Bigfoot, proving once and for all that they're related.

    Involved in a 24/7 search for the last 11 years for the diamond crypt that Brom is in, before the ice comes back;)

    Let me be clear. I want all avarists to explore high ice (with due caution) on the hope that they may encounter more Otzis. Once those bodies melt out, the decay is prompt.
