IRON AGE HOARD FOUND
Arthur Shippee sent a link to an article about a newly
found hoard:"Peter and Christine Johnson, from Sittingbourne, sparked a
massive dig when they discovered some coins on farmland near
Maidstone using a metal detector.The couple contacted Kent County Council and as a result
more than 360 coins and coin fragments, dating from the first
century BC, were dug up.""The hoard could be worth thousands of pounds, according to
the council, which is keeping the coins in its safekeeping until
they are sent to the British Museum for analysis."To read the full article, see:
