AS AN AVID METAL DETECTOR OPERATOR WHO IS ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR OLD BURIED COINS THAT HAVE BEEN DROPPED OVER THE AGES, I FOUND THIS ARTICLE FROM ONE OF HARRY PODMORE'S "TRENTON IN BYGONE DAYS" COLUMNS TO BE COMPLETELY FASCINATING. JUST THINK WHAT A 21ST CENTURY METAL DETECTOR COULD DO SEARCHING THE AREA FOR THOSE 18TH CENTURY GOLD COINS! THE AREA DESCRIBED IS IN THE AREA OF BANK ST. CHANCERY LANE IN BACK OF ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL. I HAVE A NUMBER OF THE ORIGINAL 1870'S PETTY'S RUN GOLD COIN STORIES AND WILL POST THEM AS THEY ARE DIGITIZED.
