Скачать или смотреть Hammered Gold Coin Found While Metal Detecting | What Happens Next?

An unforgettable moment in the field — uncovering a hammered gold coin while metal detecting. Finds like this are rare, exciting, and packed with history, but in the UK they also begin a formal process under the Treasure Act.

Any gold coin must be reported, recorded, and assessed before it can be returned or acquired by a museum. That means working with the Finds Liaison Officer, waiting for a coroner’s decision, and allowing time for valuation if the coin is claimed. It’s a slow process, but an important one to ensure historic finds are handled properly.

In this video, I talk through what typically happens after a hammered gold coin is found, how long the waiting times can be, and what you can expect as a detectorist once the initial excitement settles.

If you’ve ever found hammered gold, or are hoping to one day, feel free to share your experience in the comments.
