Roman gold was found under a street in Colchester, Essex, England, which may have been buried to hide it from Boudicca's army:

Ceri and I were lucky enough to get to hook up with Brian y Tarw Lloyd and his awesome daughter, Breanne Sciaroni yesterday at a couple of pubs in Portland, finishing up at the Horse Brass.
Ceri told them about our video demonstration for the US Ambassador and they both gamely volunteered to perform their versions, below:
Dear Mr Ambassador Barzun,
We, here at AmeriCymru, have loved and been charmed by your wonderful videos on learning some Welsh language phrases to welcome President Obama to Wales. We want to help you out in making the proper impression!
First, you will need a traditional Welshman's hat and a beer, as seen above. As we are in the US, we used an American beer. In Wales, you should use Brains.
When offering the beer to the President, you will need to blow smoke on it like a dragon, as seen below. If you were not born in Wales, you may have to use a cigarette to create this same effect.
You may also respectfully greet the President by engaging in traditional wing flapping, please see the included instructional video, below.
Again, we thank you for your wonderful videos and wish you a successful Presidential visit, may all go well!

thanks, people! : )
The US embassy in London has made and put up this absolutely awesome video on youtube, "America's Welsh Heritage" -
This is actor Dominic Monaghan in an interview about John Rhys Davies playing Gimli in "The Lord of the Rings" series -
I love John Rhys Davies in anything, even godawful horrors like "Sabretooth" -
