Beginner's Luck

A lucky treasure hunter, Mickey Richardson, won a top-notch metal detector in a raffle and used it to unearth a £23,000 hoard of silver coins believed to have been buried in 1644 during the Civil War.

Big Discovery

Mickey dug up 234 coins in a muddy field in Ansty, with plans to split the proceeds with the landowner but use his share to fund a holiday with his wife.

Unforgettable Find

After finding 74 silver coins on the first day and a total of 234 coins spread over a radius, Mickey was ecstatic and couldn't believe his luck, calling it a day he will never forget.
