Jennie Fitzgerald found a treasure chest on the beach
Jennie Fitzgerald travelled to north Norfolk to take part in a beach clean earlier this month and made the remarkable discovery of a chest filled with old coins and other trinkets.
Fitzgerald said: "I've never found anything like this on a beach before. Normally I'm looking for sea glass and shells so it was incredible to find something like this."
She revealed that the chest contained a number of ancient coins that her children hope will make them rich.
Fitzgerald explained: "The chest was locked shut but the bottom had started to fall off so we were able to take out its contents carefully.
"We found about 100 coins, mostly Victorian and some dated to George III's reign but there were also others that looked to be medieval and Roman.
"My kids think they are going to be rich."
