Looking for a wedding ring, a man unexpectedly dug up a treasure worth 3 billion VND

Paul Raynard, 44, from Ballycastle, Northern Ireland, accidentally dropped his wedding ring in a field. He then asked his best friend Michael Gwynne to use a metal detector to search for the ring.

After the machine rang the first time, the two dug and found only a few rusty coins and an old horseshoe. They searched and searched but could not find the ring so they were about to give up. However, the machine rang again, Paul Raynard and Michael Gwynne continued digging and this time they found a jar containing 82 ancient coins.

The coins were sent to the Ulster Museum for formal identification and valuation by a team of experts.

According to archaeologists, the gold coins all date back to the 1500s. The jar contains a variety of ancient coins. One of the coins is an extremely rare Henry VII coin, estimated to be worth up to £5,000 each. Another coin from 1546, from the reign of King Edward VI, is worth up to £3,000.

This is the largest treasure found in Ireland to date. It is estimated to be worth at least £100,000. The valuable coins will be split equally between Paul and the landowner.
