Man Discovers Human Hand, Coins in Attic

Mike Lopez hesitantly opened this box of mystery, and was shocked to find what appeared to be a human hand. The hand rests just below a picture of his great-grandparents, who he presumes once owned the box.

One can only imagine what this Tampa man thought when he found a box at his grandparents' house containing not only an old treasure map, but also Spanish coins and, most terrifyingly of all, a skeleton hand with a cryptic ring on its finger.

The curator of the Tampa History Center took a look at the box and found the coins to be a bit odd, as they appear to be Spanish doubloons, but are little too thin to be counted as real currency.

As for the hand, experts aren't so sure about whose hand this is, or if it's even human. The ring adds another level of intrigue, as its origins can't yet be determined.
