I guess everyone heard of this on the news tonight (maybe old news)

5 Million pounds :trophy:

A huge hoard of silver coins dating back to the aftermath of the Battle of Hastings could be declared as treasure.

The 2,528 silver coins were found in the Chew Valley, north-east Somerset, by a group of metal detectorists.

Lisa Grace and Adam Staples, who unearthed the bulk of the hoard, said: "We've been dreaming of this for 15 years but it's finally come true."

The British Museum said it was the second largest find of Norman coins ever in the UK.

Yeah read it yesterday and started the Bingo thread, sure is a ripper find :Y: would have been exciting just digging it up let alone to find out its potential value. Mind you the value will never top the memorable moment of digging it up it just adds to the story for the couple who found it and the land owner.
