After going home to get a metal detector, the man returned and dug up a total of 1,300 precious Celtic gold coins.
the newspaper Acient Origins said that the unnamed man decided to inform the local specialized agency about the gold coin, where the treasure will be handled in a way that balances the interests of the discoverer and the land owner.
