West Australian-found Buddha is a Ming Dynasty treasure: Antiques Roadshow

Summary by Ground News
Antiques Roadshow's Lee Young says the Buddha could fetch as much as $175,000. The finders, Leon Deschamps and Shayne Thompson, say the site is under surveillance and has not been further disturbed since their discovery. The pair say they have spent more than $50,000 on laboratory research and travel to interview scientists and academics in their attempts to uncover its origins. They hope it could contain the Buddha's missing index fingers, which Dr McLeod's report said had been glued in.
