Petko Deikov was one of the brothers whose accidental discovery brought nine gold vessels out of the ground. The consulted sources give limited details of his private life; missing years are left unknown. The shared surname denotes three individual people, rather than one invented collective finder. Found the treasure with his two brothers in 1949. The discovery was made while working with clay. The vessels were handed over for museum preservation. The finder was not the ancient owner: many centuries separate manufacture from discovery.
