Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I send you enclosed some Treasure Trove, which was lately found in a manor belonging to this See. Upon the first report it made, I was tempted to believe that riches enough were discovered for the maintenance of the war for some years : but these poor fragments of (I know not what) old coins, and a broken bracelet of jet or cannel coal, was all that fell to the share of [me]' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 185-6; Burnett 2020b, p. 869 n. 159)
