Workmen engaged in a sand-pit at Cray ford, Kent, have unearthed (says the Daily Express) a number of massive bracelets, or armlets, of solid gold, supposed to be portions of the barbaric ornaments of ancient British chiefs. The supposition that the sand-pit was the burying-place of the chiefs is supported by the discovery of bones at the same spot, and of weapons of stone and flint close by. The armlets were found at a depth of three or four feet from the surface. Their value as gold alone is estimated to be from to but their antiquity and historical associations make them priceless. They are in a perfect state of perservation, and bear inscriptions on some of the jewels, which have not yet been deciphered. Experts are of opiniqn that they date from a period long before the Christain era. They have been deposited at Scotlandyardas treasure trove, and are now the property of the crown. In May last eight similar bracelets were found near the same spot, and the finders received as their share of treasure trove a sum equal to about £ 22. Those bracelets are now in the British Museum.
