A Reliable Tool
“Never once did the Deus give me a bad reading, it was a positive signal all the way, I just knew it was something interesting,” Peter said. As it transpired, Peter had made the right decision of buying the DEUS metal detector just days before ending up at the field that had such a historical and priceless treasure contained in it.
Lucky Man
It was a nearly unbelievable moment for Peter. He was hard on his luck for the past so many years that it took him time to realize that he had fulfilled his long-awaited dream. A lot of money was about to knock his door but Peter kept his feet grounded and head high and what he decided to do with the treasure won a million hearts.
In The News
How much time does it take for a piece of news to go viral in this technologically advanced world that we live in? It’s just a matter of moving a finger. The video of a dog being rescued or the footage of a celebrity doing an ice bucket challenge breaking the internet, all one has to do is just swipe a finger and it spreads like a wildfire. And finding a treasure is certainly not an everyday thing. Peter’s story was widely met by the media and in no time it was all over the television and newspapers that made this story a piece of national news which attracted a special interest group towards Peter.
Private Investors
Stumbling upon a treasure might be a dream come true for a commoner like Peter but there are many filthy rich collectors out there who would pay any amount to get their hands on an ancient relic like the Saxon coins. Like hunting treasure is a passion for Peter, collecting relics is a passion for many as well. Peter made the news after his marvelous discovery and he was approached by a dozen collectors and they were willing to pay the desired amount in exchange for the coins. But what Peter did next left everyone in his awe.
Lots Of Money
Peter realized that there was a significant historical value associated with the gold coins he had found. Keeping this in mind he decided that he wouldn’t auction them and denied selling these coins to the highest bid. Having said that, he was in desperate need for money as he had a family to take care of but Peter had made his mind and it is right to say that he did the wise thing.
One Million Pounds
Although he had given his treasure to the concerned authorities Peter still walked home with piles of money. How come you ask? He was rewarded by the government with a huge sum of one million pounds in exchange for the treasure he had found. Isn’t it miraculous? It was only a few days ago when this man was hardly able to feed his family and pay the bills and now he just revels in the glory of the treasure he has found. Not to say he’s a millionaire now.
