but in this case it all happened in the back garden,
what a great piece of luck, the coins could have been stashed underground by a Royalist who feared it would be looted by Roundhead troops, but the story will never be known, the hoard is more than 300 years old and so is covered by the Treasure Act 1996, as some of the coins are valued at up to £85 each, a decision will be made as to the doctors find even though they were found in his back garden, a corner ruled that they are the property of the state, but of course he will receive some payment in due time, I wonder what other treasures may be lurking nearby, time to buy a metal detector perhaps?
