akdrv Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 The largest hoard of English Civil War coins found in Wales are going on show in the county where they turned up. Metal detector enthusiast Roy Lewis uncovered the 500 coins dating back to the 1640s at Tregwynt Mansion near Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, in 1996. They are going on display for the first time in the county as a centrepiece of an exhibition at Scolton Manor Museum. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/s...est/6949422.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
