Seriously – they uncovered a royal pin in a toilet that was used by commoners. Archaeologists are unsure how it got there.
The artifact was found by accident as archeologists dug around the toilet to prepare the surrounding area for restoration.Droguet called the find a "mystery."
16th century French queen's pin found in toiletI think it's safe to say that had it been found in the queen's own toilet, it would have been considered a "royal flush".
