"Piano" Hoard!

Not too shabby :) Certainly not ancient history. It's a shame for the Piano owners that they might try to claim this under the Found Treasure laws.

A hoard of gold discovered hidden inside an old piano has been revealed to be a collection of sovereign coins.
The discovery was made in Shropshire before Christmas when the piano's new owners had it retuned and repaired.
The collection consists of an undisclosed number of full and half sovereigns, dating from 1847 to 1915.
Experts believe the coins may have been "deliberately hidden" and could yield a "life-changing" sum of money, with a full sovereign worth at least £220.
