A group of amateur metal detectorists dug up a 14th century hoard of more than 550 rare gold and silver coins worth an estimated £150,000. The four - including three Geordies - struck gold in a field in Buckinghamshire and were initially delighted to find 12 ornately decorated silver Edward I and II coins. But the men - more used to digging up shotgun shells and thimbles than treasure - were astonished to find coin after coin from the hidden ancient hoard. Over four days they excavated 557 coins - including 12 ultra-rare full gold nobles from the time of the Black Death.
