In 2014, a 59-year-old man in the UK went bankrupt and he didn't want to quit his life. He decided to go treasure hunting in Buckinghamshire, and people mocked him as a poor bastard for daydreaming. However, who would have thought that the man would go ashore on this counterattack.
The man's name was Paul Coleman, and he was an amateur treasure hunter. He also had a glorious period, found many treasures, and his legendary experience was regarded as a myth by his peers.
However, the treasure hunt may seem cool, but it takes time and the treasure hunt is expensive. And more and more people are engaged in this industry, Paul Coleman's aura gradually dims, and for a long time nothing is found.
Coupled with family changes and the years are not spared, the wealth accumulated by 59-year-old Paul Coleman through treasure hunting soon bottomed out and reached the point of poverty. In the end, he didn't even have the money to refuel his car.
However, Paul Coleman did not want to give up his life, he thought that he still had a chance to turn the salted fish over, and he would have to fight again.
He heard that many people went to Buckinghamshire to hunt for treasures, so he found out the treasure hunting materials he had collected and sorted out for many years, and thought that there was a possibility of treasure in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
With his goal in mind, he decided to go treasure hunt immediately. He found his former teammates, but they all said they were too busy to go with him.
In fact, Paul Coleman knew that these people were not busy, but that they did not want to work with a bankrupt treasure hunter.
He didn't care about that. If no one joins, do it yourself. To raise money, Paul Coleman first convinced his son and then a friend, raised a sum of money from the two, and drove straight to Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
At first, Paul Coleman dug up some trash from the ground, and he began to wonder if his judgment was wrong.
At this moment, he found that inside the earth, there was a round object, shiny. Take it out and see that it turned out to be a silver coin!
Paul Coleman, based on his years of treasure hunting, recognized the silver coin as an Anglo-Saxon coin. What a treasure! He immediately became excited.
He kept digging down, and more silver coins appeared in the soil. Digging up the last statistics, there were 5251 pieces.
Later, Paul Coleman sent the silver coins to the British Museum for appraisal, and the museum's judgment was consistent with that of Paul Coleman:
In 1066, after the Battle of Hastings, King Æthelred II and Cnuts the Great of England buried the silver coins in the ground. Until it was discovered by Paul Coleman.
The museum says the coins are so precious that Paul Coleman can donate them to the museum for £1.3 million. However, Paul Coleman can also decide for himself what to do with the silver coins.
Paul Coleman was happy, and he wanted to buy himself a house. He thanked himself for not giving up in the poorest of times. Next, he will share the proceeds of this treasure with the owner of the silver coin excavation site. #Old Photos##我要上微头条 #
