Not my be me unfortunately, but the story below was making the rounds recently..
It seems back in 2019, a couple were renovating their old farm house, and lifted the original wooden floor boards in the kitchen.
Literally just underneath, a small earthenware drinking "tankard" stuffed to the rim with old coins..
The really strange thing was that coins were dated over a couple of hundred years so it's puzzling how they came to be stored there...
Due to legal wranglings/processes, the discovery has only now been made public and the coins are due to be sold at auction next month...
