500 year old gold coin found by lady detectorist

Post by Brianmo »

An amateur metal detector struck gold when she stumbled across a rare 500-year-old coin near one of England's most historic battlefields.

The coin, minted during the doomed reign of King Richard III, is one of only a handful still in existence.

Experts speculate the gold coin may have been dropped by one of Richard's soldiers fleeing the pivotal Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.

Good for her.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.
