Awesome find, recently with a metal detector in England.
Dave Crisp using a metal detector, he located the coins in April in a field in south-western England. Crisp said a 'funny signal' from his metal detector had prompted him to start digging. 52,500 coins in a jar weighing about 160 kilograms (350 pounds) and about a foot (12 inches or 30 centimeters) deep. Valued at about 3.3 million pounds ($5 million US dollars).
