Amazing what occasionally turns up, and a really neat find for the family concerned. On another note:- Quote More than 47,000 finds have been recorded with the scheme in 2020, with 6,251 reported during the full lockdown from March to May, when metal detecting was prohibited. Sounds as though many were roaming the countryside at that time, for more than just exercise. 1 1 Quote

But i wonder what the coins are actually worth? Probably more than that i would guess. 1 Quote
copper123 Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I suspect this hoard was worth at least 12 years wages for the average worker somehow values such as 6 months of the average wage these days dont do a hoard like this justice 1 Quote

Sleepy Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Spinks has HVIII VF Angels valued between 2 and 4 grand so 64 of them could be worth around £200,000. I'm more intrigued by who buried a load of Krugerrand's in the garden in the 70's and forgot about them! 1 Quote
copper123 Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I would be surprised if its not worth £250, 000 or more Quote
