Digging up more history in England

 

If you keep digging around jolly old England, you never know what you might find. As is well known, they found the bones of Richard III under a parking lot. And someone recently found a 1,300 year old necklace.  Someone else found a fancy pendant related to Henry VIII.  And they can go out in a field and find a cache of medieval weapons and some personal armor, too.

Of course, it happened again.

Immaculate hoard of gold coins worth £30,000 dating back to Henry VIII unearthed in the grounds of country house in Staffordshire

"A metal detectorist has unearthed a hoard of gold coins worth £30,000, dating back to Henry VIII's reign.

Peter Astley found the nine immaculate half-sovereign pieces on the grounds of historic Ashcombe Park Hall in Staffordshire."

Well, they were immaculate after they cleaned off the dirt.
