Treasure including almost a thousand ancient coins has been unearthed in Thanet

[Dead https://www.kentlive.news/ Link]

A Bronze Age ceramic pot containing almost a thousand ancient coins has been found in a field in Thanet .

Christopher Smith of Clifftonville made the discovery while metal detecting on private land last May. The location is being withheld to prevent others digging illegally.

He also discovered a gold coin a few months later, which he believes is "worth a bit of money".
