Father discovered a medieval English gold coin worth a record $875,000 on the first day he tried out his new metal detector.
A father was encouraged by his children to take up his old hobby of metal detecting.
On his first day using the new detector he dug up a medieval gold coin from the 13th century.
The coin has sold at a London auction for £648,000 ($878,778).

She asked if it was what she thought it was. Seems like it will be a long time before those dunes ever open up again.

The one thing I was very wrong about is I didn't think so much of the population would be so subservient.
