Thirty years ago I was still unmarried and was living with my mother. One morning in April while I was reading a newspaper I came across some information about a remarkable find of Roman silver.
It had been discovered three years before by a farmer from Mildenhall, in Siffolk, but the discovery for some reason had been kept secret until then.
 The newspaper article said the treasure has been sent to the British Museum.
The name of the farmer was given as Gordon Butcher.
The moment I read the story I sprang up from my chair and rushed out to my car.

Тридцать лет назад я был еще не женат и жил с мамой.
Однажды утром в апреле, когда я читал газету, я наткнулся на информацию о замечательной находке римского серебра.
Это было обнаружено три года ранее фермером из Милденхолла, в графстве Саффолк, но открытие почему-то  держали в тайне до сего времени. Газетная статья сообщала что клад был отправлен в Британский музей.
Имя фермера было  Гордон Мясник.
В тот момент как  я прочитал историю,  я вскочил с кресла и бросился к машине.
