Treasure trove found in Florida

Federal authorities in Miami have recovered a treasure trove of pre-Columbian gold, artifacts and emeralds, and plan to return the items to the Colombian government.

The treasures will be handed over to authorities from the South American nation on Tuesday.

Federal authorities say the items were recovered from an Italian citizen who was living in south Florida and illegally smuggling them into the country.

U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta and officials from the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement say more than 60 artifacts were recovered.
