A treasure chest full of chocolate bars which was found washed up on a Dargaville beach does not belong to Cadbury.
Locals made the discovery after the wooden and leather trimmed case washed to shore at Glinks Gully on Sunday night.
They hoped it was full of treasure, but it was instead packed with Crunchie bars and other chocolate.
Cadbury spokesman Daniel Ellis says the company has not run any promotions with a treasure chest. He is advising the treasure hunters not to eat the chocolate bars, as the expiry date is 2006.
