Buried treasure found at Membury

Buried treasure is set to give youngsters at Membury some extra spending money.

Ancient coins found by metal detecting enthusiasts have been “donated” to the village primary school – and could net them around £2,000.

Some 200 ‘detectorists’ from various local clubs, along with local residents, were invited to go treasure hunting at Bewley Down recently, thanks to landowners, Mr and Mrs Mark Burrough.
