A rich person of the 17th century surely did screw his/her immediate heirs!!!

Hidin' it and not tellin' before he/she died!!!

[Actually, if the immediate heirs were a bunch of louts, this was probably very good estate planning!]

I got so blown away by the picture, I haven't done any reading on the hoard yet. Obviously a Civil War hoard, but I think it was found in Wales?

There's probably still enough buried in the UK to pay their National Debt.
