Like Jssop 's rooster they spurned the treasure as useless, but their excited master was only too glad to accept the fowls' leav> injrs for once. The lucky man found that the coins belonged to the reign of George the Third, and that there'were eighteen pieces of gold and five of silver. The treasure had been buried exactly 100 yards from the foot of the oak tree and in a direct line with the cathedral spire* .
