KEN FINDS HIS MIDAS TOUCH IN THE FIELDS

Fields of gold could be lacing the countryside after a second ancient coin was discovered.

Ken Jacobs (60), chairman of the Scunthorpe Metal Detectors' club, found a whole noble - dating from the 14th century - in a field near Winteringham.

I wonder why they could,nt say found in North Lincolnshire, or a field near Scunthorpe :evil:
Well done Ken

so, you only have to give the farmer half if you sell it?

A very nice find for anybody to make, although I think he's a bit off the mark with it being two years' wages for somebody back then. A noble was worth 80 pennies, and an average daily wage back then would have been probably two to four pence a day, so it's really about four or five weeks' worth at best and certainly wouldn't have been the equivalent of thousands back in the mid 1300s. Anyway, still a great find.
