Farmer looks for hammer finds Roman Coins worth millions!
So after surfing the web, I stumbled across this site with metal detecting finds which had an inspiring story where treasure was found without even trying! A British farmer lost his hammer in his crop fields one day. He refused to buy another to replace it and instead just borrowed his friend’s Metal Detector. After Searching his crops for his hammer, he came up with over 15,000 coins of various metals, including gold, as well as jewelry and statues.
The government bought these coins from him for £1.75 million which he split with his friend who let him borrow his metal detector. Wow! What an amazing find!
