Work Begins on Large Find of Celtic Coins in the Isle of Jersey

The two gentlemen who found this large hoard of Celtic coins and jewelry had worked for nearly 20 years in rural parts of the Isle of Jersey looking for coins, etc. This BBC news clip shows the difficulty that archaeologists will have separating the mud that encases the coins. The find will stay in Jersey.
