http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/outposts/post/fisherman-nets-4000-year-old-pagan-figurine/
Nikolay Tarasov pulls Bronze Age artifact, carved in bone and said to be worth more than its weight in gold, from Siberian river near the community of Tisul.
Yahoo - The museum director added that Tarasov did not ask for any reward, even though the artifact “is probably worth more than if it was made of gold.”
Tarasov, a Siberian driver who fishes on the side, offered a simple explanation.
“People should see it, and learn the history of their region. It was quite clearly precious for the museums of any country.”
