A Virginia man who had gone to drop off his trash at the Route 41 dump bin was caught to his surprise when he found a 188-year-old King James Bible along with other books in a box meant for disposal. The man, who's fending off offers approaching $1,000, says the price offered for the ancient Bible is not realistic and thus would "hold on to it for now. " In an interview with the Danville Register and Bee, electrician Michael Hoskins, who discovered the rare, ancient Bible, said, "I go up there all the time to drop off my household trash, and there it was. There were three or four boxes of books leaning up against the concrete wall behind the Dumpsters. "
