Wesley Carrington, from Hertfordshire, suddenly found ancient gold coins from Roman times worth at least £100,000.
Wesley Carrington, after purchasing a metal detector from a small store near his home, took it into the woods to test it. For 20 minutes, the machine emitted its first signal. Brother Wesley tried to dig in the ground and miraculously found a small treasure: ancient Roman gold coins. At first, when he started digging, he found a spoon, then a broken coin, but the machine continued to emit a continuous signal that the metal was still deeply buried. After digging for a while, the shovel blade reached the first gold coin dating back 1,600 years.
They then invited other experts to the site to continue their search and discovered another 104 coins. Mr Wesley’s exciting discovery was described by experts as extremely “spectacular” and of “importance to the nation’s archaeology”. This impressive story has caused some skepticism: what can confirm that these coins were unearthed accidentally? Under the observation of police experts, they have confirmed that it is really an accidental discovery and that there are no suspicious signs in the area where the gold coins were found.
The treasures were then sent to the British Museum for the necessary evaluation before auctioning them. The money that Mr. Wesley Carrington received from the auction will have to be divided in part between the owner of the land, where he found the gold coins. Wesley said that when he saw an online video about how to find lost metal objects, he decided to buy a metal detector. Brother Wesley Carrington has found the burial site of hundreds of gold coins dating back to Roman times.
The owner of the metal detector store excitedly showed off the cheapest machine that Mr. Wesley had purchased at his store. This store also has a very “related” name: “Hidden History”, which means “Mysterious History”. Then, Mr. Wesley took the gold coins to show them to the owner of the metal detector store and ask for advice. They contacted the local museum. Immediately, a team of museum staff was sent to accompany the shop owner and Mr. Wesley to the location where the gold coins were found. The officers had more specialized equipment, so they found another 104 coins in addition to the 55 Wesley had found earlier.
New gold coins are extracted from the ground. These coins were from the same era, but were minted in different places, including present-day Italy, Germany, France, Turkey and Greece. An employee at the museum in the county of Hertfordshire said: “I have been in this business for 10 years and have never “I have never seen anyone so fortunate to find a precious antique so easily as Mr. Wesley.” In the past, we have been sent tens of thousands of ancient coins for analysis, but only four are from the Roman era.” As for Mr. Carrington, this surprise made him passionate about antiques and he decided to join a local club so he could every week with his friends in the club spread everywhere. coffer.
