“TREASURE TROVE”
COINS FOUND IN FLINT. THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD. (Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright ) LONDON, October 6. (Received Oct. 6, at 9 p.m.) A boy named Victor Smith, with a shooting party on Salisbury Plain, threw flint at another stone. The flint Burst, and 64 coins fell out. The British Museum attaches great importance to the find, and believes that the coins are 2000 years old, having been manufactured in the Chanel Islands in the time of Philip of Macedon. A jury decided that the coins are treasure trove, and ordered them to be handed over to the State.—Sydney Sun Cable.
