Time capsule with ‘gold and silver coins of the realm’ is buried on church premises

Two sets of churchgoers are competing to find buried treasure, but do not appear to have a prayer.

Members of the Presbyterian church in Drogheda sold their premises to the Redeemed Christian Church of God four years ago, but old records show that when the building was constructed 200 years ago, a time capsule was buried there.

The capsule contained what was described as ‘gold and silver coins of the realm’, and a copy of a local newspaper, the Drogheda Journal.
