It might be time to pick up a metal detector, as this group of amateurs just found 600 medieval coins that are worth £150,000 🪙 😱
A group of amateur detectorists are celebrating after their unlikely find of 600 medieval coins was declared treasure.Andrew Winter, Dom Rapley, Eryk Wierucki, Jaroslaw Giedyna, Dariusz Fijalkowski and brothers Tobiasz and Mateusz Nowak even slept in a tent to prevent the coins being stolen.
They heard how the men – more used to digging up shotgun shells and thimbles than treasure – had been astonished to find coin after coin from the hidden ancient hoard. It will now be left for the museum to negotiate a settlement with the finders and landowners, none of whom was present at the hearing.
Dariusz Fijalkowski, a dad-of-three and machine operator from Bristol, came across the hoard after he had been ‘delighted’ with a thimble he’d found. The find was made at an organised rally which was held on a field near Hambleden, a village recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.
