Archaeologists have said today that they have found artefacts in the ruins of a centuries-old fort where a Hindu sage believes 1,000 tons of gold are buried, according to a dream he had.

Expressing strong displeasure with ongoing excavation to unearth the treasure trove of 1,000 tonne gold in Unnao, Nationalist Congress Party president and Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar today said government agencies should not participate in the hunt based on a "dream" of a seer as it would give rise to superstitions.

The government is digging for treasure after a sage in a village in Uttar Pradesh dreamt that 1,000 tonnes of gold was buried under a ruined palace, and wrote to the central bank about it.
