Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

I met with several Adventures in the remaining part of my Journey after I left you; and amongst the rest with one very lucky one, of a new discovery of Medals. You may remember the Day we parted I had intended to have gone to Cirencester, but hearing by the way of a great deal of Treasure that was found in a Field, I presently conjectured it might be Roman Coin, and diverted my Course thither. The Field was near Dursly (a Town we left about a Mile of the left Hand as we rod from Glocester) where I found above Forty People digging and scraping; and bought a great many Silver Medals of them, and one incomparable fair one of Gold, that had been found a little before. The whole History how these came to be discovered, I shall reserve till I see you.
