Dream lead: Indian government digs for 1,000 tonnes gold

Indian government is digging for treasure after a civic-minded village sage dreamt that 1,000 tonnes of gold was buried under a ruined palace, and wrote to tell the central bank about it.

The state Archaeological Survey of India has sent a team of archaeologists to the village of Daundia Khera in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

They are due to start digging on Friday, Praveen Kumar Mishra, the head archaeologist in the state, told Reuters.
