TREASURE TROVE
DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT
COINS
(Rcc. October 6, 7 p.m.)
London, October 6.
A boy named Victor Smith, who was with a shooting party on Salisbury Plain, threw a' flint at another stone. The flint burst, and sixty-four coins fell out. The British Museum attaches great importance to the find, and believes the coins ’ are two thousand years old, having been manufactured in the Channel Islands in the time of Philip' of Macedon. A jury decided that the coins are treasure trove, and ordered them to be handed ever to the State.— Sydney “Sun” Cable.
