NEVER go to a meeting in a coinfield in Joisey...............
I heard he just got married to the widow next store…
Read that this find does not come under the Treasure Trove act.
Amazing last Henry III coin found over 250 years ago. Only 8 in existence. One of my favorite YouTube I’d metal detecting in UK and mudlarking on the Thames.
I’m ‘enery the third I am...
That is correct, a treasure trove is defined as 10 or more coins. The question is: did the detectorist have permission from the landowner to detect on that land? Did the two of them have an agreement for sharing proceeds? If they didn't have any agreements, their solicitors will be busy.
As a 15 year-old working a tobacco field in Connecticut I found a 1735 English penny. The coin had a deep scratch diagonally across it that looked recent. Tobacco fields aren’t plowed deeply so I think the scratch on the coin was caused by the plow that turned it up. The coin had no value since ones in good condition are not that rare and mine was far from good condition. Still, a cool find for a kid.
Saw it could sell for over 600,000. Solicitors get involved lucky to see half.
You’d feel good about yourself doing that?
UK neat play for digging for treasure. Not long ago guy found a part of the crown belonging to Henry VII He found while digging a garden in his back yard. Even mudlarkers find coins from Tutor period right on the banks of the Thames.
