Wesley Carrington, UK Man, Finds $156,000 In Roman Gold Coins On First Time Using Metal Detector

Some people spend a lifetime trying to amass a fortune through hard work and guile. For one British man, it took only 20 minutes in a field with a metal detector -- the first 20 minutes he had ever used such a machine.

According to the St. Albans & Harpenden Review, Wesley Carrington took his newly bought metal detector out into a field near St. Albans in Hertfordshire, England, last October. After finding a spoon and then a half penny, Carrington's machine beeped a third time, and he dug seven inches down to uncover a coin that was gold in color with a Roman figure on it.

As it turns out, the gold coloring was actually gold, the coin was an ancient Roman solidus, and there were 158 more buried with it, a hoard with an estimated worth of 100,000 pounds sterling, or $156,000, according to The Daily Mail.

Carrington found 55 of the coins that first night, stopping only because it got too dark outside to continue. A group of experts later returned to discover 104 more coins at the site. All in all, the hoard is believed to be one of the largest collections of Roman gold coins ever found in England, according to the BBC. St. Albans District Councillor Mike Wakely hailed it as "an exciting find of national significance," the outlet reports.

The statistical likelihood of finding a hoard of such import with so little effort is difficult to calculate, much less grasp.

Why did the British steal all our country's wealth?

India is famous for all the best costliest jewelery in the whole world. Semi precious stones and gold. Yet the British came to India, took away everything we had, the wealth of India...

Now the Queen wears it on the top of her awful head and they don't even want to return it back!!

Isn't it pathetic, they just robbed the wealth from other countries.

Especially India, the land of riches and wealth.
The world learnt how to adorn jewelery only from India.
Yet the Brits came and robbed most of what we had.

What do you think?
