Anything with metal in it. The largest desert in the world, the Sahara is a huge, natural resource-rich area of northern Africa. Covering a massive part of the continent and encompassing the recognized legal borders of many countries, the Sahara Desert stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Red Sea in the east and stretches south from the Mediterranean Sea. The desert covers about 3.5 million square miles. The word "sahara" is from the Arabic word "sahra," which means "desert."
Gold - silver - jewelry - ancient weapons - tools, etc.
Enough treasures so I could fund a search of the ocean bottom next.
3.5 million square miles -that's more area than Canada. All we have here is the Canadian Shield; solid rock.
