A metal detectorist in England discovered two very rare and valuable gold coins near Reepham, Norfolk, in late June.

The coins unearthed consisted of a 23-carat leopard gold coin and a noble gold coin; both were found folded in half, buried, and were located 150 meters (approx. 500 feet) apart from each other.
