Some Of The Most Valuable Metal Detector Finds

There are millions of dollars worth of history under our feet. The unfortunate part is that it is nearly impossible to find. Metal detecting is one way to discover hidden artifacts lost to time, but it can be a very infuriating process. Yet, for those lucky enough to find a little piece of history, the reward can be substantial.

Some collections, such as the Galloway Hoard, can reward the finder with thousands of dollars, while other discoveries can go up into the millions. You won’t believe what some amateur metal detector enthusiasts have been able to find throughout the years, or how much they were paid for their historical contributions!

Wickham Market Hoard – $381,749

In 2008, Michael Dark and his friend Keith Lewis stumbled upon the find of a lifetime. Using a metal detector, they located a hoard of 840 Iron Age gold coins in a field near Wickham Market, Suffolk, England. Ian Leins, a curator of Iron Age Coins, says, “it is the largest hoard of British Iron Age gold coins to be studied in its entirety.”

After a campaign to keep the coins in Suffolk, in 2011, the Ipswitch Museum raised $381,749 to pay the landowner as well as Dark and Lewis for the hoard. The coins are now on permanent display in the museum.
