Meanwhile, earlier, a man in the United Kingdom unearthed the priceless treasure buried near Chippenham in Wiltshire. The 68-year-old metal detectorist named Tony House was shocked when he found the stash of ‘Tealby Pennies’ – named after the Tealby in Lincolnshire, where more than 5,000 similar coins were dug up in 1807. He was about to give up his search after he found a coin but he had a gut feeling that made him keep going. This was when he heard the life-changing beep from his metal detector and ended up finding 570 pennies.

The Chippenham resident, who is married to 63-year-old wife, Beverley, told The Sun, “It’s wonderful and so fascinating! It’s a unique find, and that’s very exciting. I was just 40 seconds from my van when I got the signal. It was a hot day, and the ground was solid like concrete. One spadeful I dug up had 35 coins in it, and I found 130 in one square meter. Just two meters from that was over a hundred in another square meter.”
