A fait divers about an amazing archeological discovery. A boy discovers historic treasure with his metal detector. Text, "find the French", true/false/not mentioned, questions in French and translation into English.

Video listening, reading, writing and speaking based on an Alain Le Lait video Dans ma chambre.
