The Tregwynt Hoard

Tregwynt, Pembrokeshire

Civil War gold and silver coins hidden in a garden, found during building work.

In 1996 workmen at Tregwynt Mansion found a hoard of around 500 gold and silver coins and a gold ring, hidden around 1648 during the Civil War. The owner probably buried them for safekeeping during the fighting in Pembrokeshire and never came back for them.

The Ledger of Lost Artifacts and Civilizations

Not every mystery needs a lost continent. This book investigates fifty-nine real and often overlooked puzzles from the ancient and modern world: a temple older than farming itself, astonishing structures, out-of-place artifacts, and technologies lost to time. Each case is weighed honestly, with a clear ledger of the case for and against, so you can make up your own mind. Some cases collapse under scrutiny. Others remain genuinely unexplained. All of them are stranger than Atlantis.
