Treasure trove of coins found on St Lawrence farm
In Ogdensburg New York August 17 a horse kicked a remarkable treasure into view on John McEwen s farm on the Canadian side of the St Lawrence River. Six pieces of silver flew from the horse s hoof when driven across the field. A man digging recovered 148 coins including three Spanish pieces one British one 6 franc piece and 143 United States half dollars. Under English law treasure trove goes to the crown so the coins were turned over to the police. They date from 1805 to 1828 and were buried three inches underground in straight rows. Workmen paid in American silver during the Rideau canal era may explain the hoard s origin. It is believed to be part of indemnity funds sent to the canal district.
