Help with DYK hook[edit]

I have been struggling to create an interesting DYK hook. I am thinking something like these but any ideas are welcome:

...that the 499 bodies of gold miners bound for China were initially thought lost when the SS Ventnor sunk?

....that the 499 bodies of gold miners were initially thought lost when the SS Ventnor sunk, until some were found to have been buried by the local Māori? Thanks.(Dushan Jugum (talk) 01:29, 24 May 2019 (UTC)).[reply]
