From The Shropshire Star
Treasure hunters at a Shropshire metal detector rally really
did strike gold when they unearthed a clutch of 600-year-old
Spanish coins.
The five solid gold “doblas” date from Castile
in the 1350s, during the reign of King Pedro the Cruel, and
are believed to be the first of their kind ever discovered
in the UK.
The coins were found at a secret location in Myddle on September
4 last year, by a pair of metal detecting enthusiasts from
Bolton. Experts at the British Museum said the money, which was probably
dropped by a soldier, was a rare find. It was officially declared
treasure by mid and north Shropshire coroner John Ellery |
