LONDON, July 15. A man working a few days ago in the garden of the Red Lion , Egham, discovered a large stone, at the distance of nine feet from the surface, having four rings of iron fastened to it. On communicating this circumstance to Mr. GRAVE , he assisted the man in removing it, and on doing so found a vaulted cavity of about four feet diameter, in which was placed a large jar, containing a great number of copper-coins, a cross of ebony, a small chain of copper, from which was suspended a silver medal, perfectly preserved, and having the following inscription: "Mil : doc : Jesus : ob : tr : 1450 :" - Many antiquarians have delivered their opinions on the translation of the words; but nothing has yet transpired in respect of the authenticity. N.B. This makes interesting reading, but, it doesn't seem to appear in other newspapers, nor can we find any mention of it by "Googling" so should be taken with a "pinch of salt". One fact mentioned, that seems "odd" to us, is the fact that a gardener was digging 9 feet down. WHY ???? Also, what date was on the copper-coins ? Surely they would have given some clue as to when the large jar was placed there. *************************************** Send your List messages using **PLAIN TEXT** and always **TRIM AWAY** superfluous old messages in replies.
