A Metal Detectorists day to remember. In October 2019, Yorkshire metal detectorist Paul Reynard and his mate Michael Gwynne were helping a local farmer search for a lost wedding ring in a field near Kinbane Castle, Ballycastle, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Instead, they unearthed a remarkable hoard of 84 silver coins. The coins date from 1551 to 1649 and consist mostly of English shillings and sixpences from the reigns of Edward VI through to Charles I. The standout piece is a rare Bavarian thaler dated 1625/6, in near-mint condition and featuring a seated image of the Virgin and Child – quite an unusual find in Ireland. Experts believe the hoard was buried for safekeeping during the turbulent wars in Ireland (1641–1652). Early media reports got rather carried away, calling the coins gold and guessing they were worth over £100,000, but they turned out to be silver. In June 2022 the collection was officially declared treasure at a coroner’s inquest. It has since been acquired by National Museums Northern Ireland and is now on permanent display at the Ulster Museum in Belfast. Paul Reynard described the moment as life-changing and was delighted that the historic coins would stay in Northern Ireland for everyone to see. The discovery remains one of the most significant post-medieval coin hoards from the region, offering a fascinating insight into 17th-century currency and conflict. #metaldetecting #metaldetectingfinds #treasure #history
