An event at the Farmington Library, rescheduled to accommodate a surge in public interest, will recount this riveting story.
The Discovery
The serendipitous find occurred in early spring when the inquisitive young boy, whose name is being withheld for anonymity, stumbled upon an ancient chest in his backyard while digging for a school project. Weathered and encrusted with dirt, the chest contained a trove of relics seemingly lost to history. Items include gold coins, jewelry, and maritime charts—believed to date back to the 17th century, an era marked by notorious piracy along the Eastern Seaboard.
Local experts and historians have verified the treasure’s authenticity, which has enthralled both seasoned archaeologists and amateur historians.
