TREASURE UNEARTHED BY PLOUGH
“The finest hoard of antiquities ever found in this county” is the description given by Mr R. R. Clarke, Deputy Curator of Norwich Castle Museum, to the coins and jewellery recently unearthed by a plough at Snettisham, Norfolk.
The treasure consists of a number of gold torques, bracelets of bronze, electrum (a mixture of gold and silver), brass, and other alloys, and many scores of coins which, said Mr Clarke, were issued in the later part of the Iron Age, probably between 85 and 75 B.C.
