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."
