All that glisters is not gold, but these coins are

An English couple  the Whettons, restoring their hotel in Lot et  Garonne were knocking down a wall when they hit treasure. A cache of gold coins from the 15th century, 1492. The couple were being interviewed on Telematin and the lady spoke very good French, accented of course. The hotel 
'Hôtel Du Cours de Thomazeau have a film of the find. Apart from the gold what a boost for the hotel's business
 Malc and I wondered what the procedure was after handing them in and perhaps someone on Columbus's voyage over the ocean blue hid the coins before setting off in 1492 (unlikely but it just shows that 1066 is not the only memorable date in history).
