Archaeologists have uncovered finds in Salgótarján, Hungary, that can truly be called treasures. Staff from the Béla Dornyay Museum recently carried out a three-week excavation near Salgó Castle. Lead archaeologist Tamás Szolnoki spoke to Nógrád County’s news portal about their exciting discoveries.

Szolnoki told the local news site Nool.hu that the area around the castle held real treasures. The team unearthed not only medieval artefacts—such as lead bullets, crossbows, and pottery—but also objects dating back to prehistoric times, found at a depth of just one meter (3.2 feet).

Szolnoki also emphasized that the excavation provided a wealth of valuable new information, making it an extremely successful research project.

The findings will be presented in more detail next April, when the museum plans to open a dedicated exhibition at the Béla Dornyay Museum in Salgótarján. There are also plans to hold a scientific conference to discuss the discoveries, the expert went on to share in his statement to the Nógrád County news portal.
