Renaud the macon/ builder is a lucky fellow. For the second time in 3 years he has found a treasure trove whilst knocking down walls on a building site in the Caen area. This time he has found 37 coins from the years 1854 to 1868 the time of Napoleon. The haul is estimated at 5,000 euros.This follows a story where a hotel in Lot and Garonne had a find of even older money from around 1480
