    the coins were found is on a direct line from one castle to the other. He gave some of the coins to people in the parish including my grandfather and Mr Phillips P.T Baldwinstown. He sold the remainder of them to Mr Patrick Hayes who was a proprietor of White's hotel Wexford at that time. It is not known how much he recieved for them, but it is thought he sold them cheap as he often went on a "spree" and he may have been in want of money.
