THAT'S the news story I rememberr reading at the time, nice to see someone found it again.
This is pretty fake.
Another interesting episode...out of Alabama in the 1950s...there’s this kid who finds an Italian coin in a field. The coin? Minted around 450 B.C. How it got to the field? No can speculate or explain. Italian travelers from two thousand years ago? Maybe. But you can’t prove that.
There’s thousands of stories like this.
iirc this guy found them in a grave in Hawaii... 
The bones were also the treasure in an old “Hawaii 5-0” episode.
