Buried Treasure, of the Parable Variety
Treasure hunters in Britain were thrilled with the find of 5,000 coins (some dating from the 11th century) found buried in a lead bucket in a field in Buckinghamshire. It's one of the largest coin hoards found in Britain.
Possible Preaching Angle:
This find brings to life Christ's parable of the treasure buried in a field. Like the kingdom of heaven, sometimes the most precious things in the world are hidden from view for a while.
