People across the UK have been unearthing treasures this year. But no one has stumbled across a more valuable find than one UK birdwatcher, who just discovered a hoard of Celtic gold coins worth 845,000 pounds (US$1.176 million). It is being called the largest recorded collection of Celtic coins ever found in the UK mainland.
When the accidental treasure hunter spotted a glimmer of gold while out in a field, watching a buzzard, he couldn’t have expected that he was about to unearth the huge pile of 2,000-year-old Celtic coins.
