Treasure hunter makes find of a lifetime

MIDDLETOWN — A Warwick man searching in Middletown with a metal detector recently found one of the Holy Grails of early American coins: An exceedingly rare specimen minted by the Massachusetts Bay Colony more than 340 years ago.

I seem to remember someone finding one of these coins, not long ago ?

What a great find !!

An amazing find to say the least. I'm thrilled to find a coin a hundred years old.
