A hoard of over 600 medieval coins found by amateur detectorists has been declared treasure after it was valued at around £150,000.
Seven men more used to digging up shotgun shells and thimbles unearthed the “Hambleden Hoard” on a Buckinghamshire estate four years ago.
The 627 coins include 12 rare gold nobles from the reign of Edward III, classed as “extremely rare” by the British Museum.
