LED the rush of gold 'diggers searching in Jerusalem for the 200 tons of buried treasure mentioned in the Dead Sea scrolls.
The scrolls, on crumpled coppor, were cleaned at Manchester College of Technology. They were found near the Red Sea caves of Qumran by the ruins of a monastery of the Essenes, a religious sect to which John the Baptist is said to have belonged. Over 850 scrollis-two copper, the rest leather-have been found. More are being searched for.

in Jerusalem, is glad he is going home to the States next month.
