Sooty hasn't forgotten the pirate chest containing Sigurd's stolen viking gold. Obviously Meggle found it buried on the island, and sneaky little Sooty was hiding in a nearby hedge just itching to take a peak where she found it. So he waited until night to go check the hole it was found in. Of course he found something else...but then got side tracked by excalibur and joining the British SAS. But back on track, he went to the hole and dug a little deeper, because he knew pirates often hid the important stuff under the chest. The chest of gold was just a decoy from the real treasure. But what did Sooty find when he started to dig frantically below the earth where the chest had been.....

 

OMG, just one small gold coin; he dated it to early imperial Rome. The coin had an eerie golden glow in the moon light. He looked closely and saw on one side a profile of a beautiful women, and then he read the Latin inscribed around the profile; "Cleopatra". Sooty was beside himself with excitement. It was the fabled magical Roman coin of Pharaoh Cleopatra said to be imbued with the talismanic powers of ancient Egypt.

 

Sooty grabbed the coin in both shaking paws and popped it into his little backpack he always carries on adventures. He just had to show it to the gang hanging out in the Castle. They would know what to do with it. More than likely, they would just pop it onto a special shelf in the library where all curios and artefacts are stored for future reference and discussion. You never know when this shelf of relics and magical items will come in handy!

Historical note: Cleopatra did actually hold the title of pharaoh for a few years after her brother, who also happened to be her husband, died. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs often married their siblings to keep the royal bloodlines pure. Also, by all accounts, Cleopatra wasn't very attractive - she really did have a beaky nose, but she had an irresistible sensuality that attracted both Julius Casear and Mark Antony.
