Seen this on Instagram yesterday.Truly an amazing find.Its got to be worth more than 15,000 surely.

Youd have thought so, right? A bloody 600 year old jewel that potentially belonged to a king?

Imagine the trash targets :eek: 1000s of years of metal usage and large populations :rolleyes: digging 200 years of trash here in Australia does my head in let alone being in their deep soils with that history .

True, but popping out a thousand year old coin or in this case a bloody monarchs shiny has to be worth it :p
