The Naked Chef, Buried Treasure and Joy Division

I specifically wrote that title to draw attention to one of the oddest stories I have come across in the great while.  Jamie Oliver the Brit chef with the cheeky lisp, has made a grand (and odd) discovery.

Oliver you may recall came to America and went to public schools trying to sere healthy meals with the lunch ladies.  It didn't go over well and I think people ended up hating him.  You cant just come in to America and dis our meatloaf, ya know?

Well apparently back on British soil the chef was actually excavating an area in Manchester UK and found lost Joy Division and New Order master tapes.  Are you freaking kidding me?  I mean most digs turn up some clay, maybe coin, maybe MAYBE an old key.  This guy finds actual master recordings by two of the most iconic Manchester bands of all time?

 In addition to that amazing find, Oliver also found guns, gold and jewelry buried with the tapes.

OK, so Oliver digs to build a restaurant and turns up guns gold and master tapes. So where is the booty?   Oliver turned over everything, with a reported value of appx  $1.7 million to the British Treasury.

Strange one.
