The Mystery of the Mysterious Hoard of Derbyshire In the year 1756, a nobleman by the name of M.E. Bewty Esq. made a remarkable discovery on his land in Derbyshire. Hidden in a large sack, he unearthed a hoard of Saxon coins. Fearing that he would lose or be robbed of his find, Bewty re-hid the treasure on an island off the coast of Scotland. The hoard remained untouched for centuries, until recent restoration works at Derby Cathedral uncovered a worn map under the flooring below Bewty's favourite pew. The map, along with a list of clues, has sparked the interest of the Exploration Society. They are now seeking the help of the bravest and most adventurous individuals to help retrieve the historical hoard.
