Welsh farmer, Ifor Edwards lost his keys on his farm, he and his wife called in some metal detecting experts from the Wrexham Heritage Society who found more than just Ifor’s keys!
Cliff Massey of the Society found Ifor’s keys as well as 14 medieval coins dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries! The coins are mostly made up of silver and are probably from the time of Edward III, Henry V and Henry VI!
“It is such a shock, you just can’t quite believe it. You realize those coins were there before they ever found America or anything,” Ifor gushed. “You just can’t believe you’re holding something that is 600 and something years old. We only bought the land three years ago and nothing like this has ever been found before.”
Each coin needs to be properly examined in order to determine its value, but they could be worth upwards of $600 eachI! Ifor and Cliff has agreed to sell the coins to the Wrexham Heritage Society and split the profits between themselves.
