How much different would the value of a penny of the era be if a hoard like that was auctioned? I mean there is only so many collectors out there, especially ones who can pay the high prices for the series.
Some days it's amazing that I even manage to find my car parked at the edge of the field. But I wouldn't change this hobby for the world.

Just secured a new 85 acre permission in this part of the world! Let’s hope lightning strikes twice!

Was acquired under the Treasure Act so no auction involved.

Majority of farmers don’t say nice things about them up in this part of the world 😂 something to do with gold coins being found and them not informed, turning up whenever they please and not notifying anybody and worst one yet digging up fields that have been drilled 😂😂

Drilling involves a machine that makes a small hole and inserts a seed without the need to plough. Modern farming.
