Palisades woman finds serpent ring, cross, and chalice

A woman from the Palisades, absent that night, walked along the beach the previous week and found in turn a tiny ring of a serpent swallowing itself, a small silver cross off a necklace, and a little wooden chalice; she brought all three and Neville saw them in the little room behind the lecture hall.

    Why Existing d0 claim carries no year at all; this supplies the finer month/year the packet's own arithmetic supports.
    Reasoning The woman found the objects 'this last week' relative to the telling. The lecture's delivery date is stated (certain) as 1964-05-15, so the find falls in early-to-mid May 1964, roughly the week before; kept at month precision only since 'last week' does not pin an exact day, and at probable rather than certain because the interval is itself approximate.

    Why field_told previously had no claims at all.
    Reasoning Neville says he personally saw the ring, cross and chalice himself ('I saw the thing last week... I saw them last week, right here in the little room behind') within this same lecture, so the telling and the lecture's delivery are the same moment; the certain delivery claim sets the ceiling for this derived told claim.
