  一位在抽奖中赢得金属探测器的寻宝新手发现了价值2.3万英镑的历史银币。

  63岁的米奇·理查森(Mickey Richardson)在多切斯特东北约9英里处的安斯蒂村(Ansty)的一片泥泞的田野里发现了这234枚硬币。

  这是米奇最早的发现之一,这笔钱很可能是在1644年英国内战期间被一位农民埋在那里保管的。

  但主人似乎在他有机会找回硬币之前就被杀了,直到现在它们才被藏起来。

  米奇发现它们散落在田野里,他怀疑是几个世纪以来耕种田地的农民把它们移动了。

  他很兴奋地发现了第一枚硬币,上面有查理一世的半身像,然后花了两天的时间来挖掘其余的硬币。

  爷爷说:“我简直不敢相信。第一天我就挖出了74个银币,之后我就崩溃了。

Novice Mickey Richardson found the find of a lifetime using the top-of-the-range device in a muddy field o<em></em>nce used by a brewer to grow hops. He spent a weekend digging up the 234 coins that were believed to have been buried for safekeeping by a farmer in 1644 as the English Civil War raged around him. The owner never returned to retrieve his savings and is likely to have been killed in the conflict. Over the next four centuries the coins had been repeatedly struck by a farmer's plow and scattered over a wide area in the field on Ansty, near Dorchester, Dorset.

  “第二天早上我回去的时候,我想如果能四舍五入到100就好了,但结果发现一共有234枚硬币分布在一个半径上。”

  这些硬币覆盖了1550年代爱德华六世国王、伊丽莎白一世女王、詹姆斯一世和查理一世的统治时期。

  伊丽莎白和詹姆斯的一些硬币被划伤了,可能是一位前天主教徒的主人为了抗议他们的新教观点和天主教会的改革。

  米奇把硬币交给了当地的发现联络官,这是一名特别委员会官员,根据1996年《宝藏法案》的法律要求,他负责记录金属探测器的发现。

  大英博物馆对它们进行了检查,然后将它们归还给米奇。

  当这些硬币在伦敦拍卖商Spink & Son以2.3万英镑(包括手续费)的价格售出时,他观看了现场直播,“上蹿下跳”。

  来自多塞特郡伯恩茅斯的米奇必须与土地所有者对半分配收益,但他正计划与妻子罗莎琳德一起去度暑假。

  他说他是在这次发现前几个月才开始从事金属探测的。

  他解释说:“我有一个非常基本的金属探测器,我只是把它带到伯恩茅斯海滩。”

  “但后来我在Facebook上参加了一个金属探测俱乐部的抽奖活动,赢得了头奖,那是一台顶级探测器。

  “几个月后,我从安斯蒂的土地所有者那里得到了许可,那里曾经是一个小泥屋村,在拿破仑战争期间,那里的田地曾用来种植啤酒花来酿造啤酒。

  “我去过那里几次,发现了一枚铜币,但仅此而已。

  “在那个周末,我发现了这批宝藏。我正准备收工的时候,突然收到一个很强的信号,发现了一枚查理一世的先令。”然后我又扫了一遍这片区域,又收到了一个又一个信号。”

  那是我永远不会忘记的一天。”

  米奇说,他预计这些硬币在拍卖会上能卖到1万英镑,所以对最后的结果很满意。

  但他补充说:“这不是钱的问题,而是历史和保护硬币的问题。”这笔钱是奖金。”

  斯平克父子公司的钱币专家艾拉·麦肯齐说:“这一套钱币涵盖了我国历史上最不稳定的时期。”

  “这些硬币在英格兰形成时期的口袋里流通,从宪法到宗教、社会经济,显然还有政治。”

  “能够处理这些藏品是一种罕见的特权。”

  英国有丰富的内战囤积史,记录在案的案例有近400起。

  然而,拍卖师表示,它们公开拍卖的情况仍然很少见。

  上个月,一名寻宝者用故障的金属探测器发现了英国迄今为止发现的最大的金块。

  67岁的理查德·布洛克在什罗普希尔山探险时发现了重64.8克、价值3万英镑的“希罗金块”。
