After weeks of digging in Unnao, the Archaeological Survey of India has finally given up. It has found not an ounce of gold at the historic fort in Unnao despite having gone on an extensive dig after a seer claimed to have dreamt of 1,000 tonnes beneath the surface. The ASI has only managed to excavate living quarters and pieces of pottery from the Buddhist period at the site. The excavation had begun after a Hindu Seer Sadhu Shobhan Sarkar claimed that he had a dream in which the former king told him about a buried treasure. Raja Ram Bux Singh's fort was believed to be home to a treasure trove of 1,000 tonnes of gold worth Rs 31,000 crore.

There's gold in Fatehpur: seer seeks new treasure hunt
Unfazed by his forecast of huge gold reserves in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao coming a cropper, seer Sobhan Sarkar on Friday moved the Allahabad High Court seeking permission to carry out a similar excavation in Fatehpur. In his petition, which is likely to come up for hearing next week, Sarkar claimed that there were 2,500 tonnes of gold buried in the ground at Adampur village in Fatehpur district. The seer has sought the court's direction to the state government and the district administration to allow him to carry out the excavation for which, he has claimed, a preliminary survey has been carried out by experts at the Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad and the IIT Kanpur, Sarkar's counsel Chandan Sharma said. Sharma said Sarkar has also stated that he was willing to bear the expenses involved in the excavation. The development comes barely a month after the Archaeological Survey of India gave up after carrying out a fortnight-long excavation at Daundiya Kheda in Unnao. The seer had claimed that the gold could not be found as he was not "invited" to the site.
