Twelve mega-rare medieval gold coins, along with hundreds of silver pennies have been found in Buckinghamshire.
The huge treasure hoard was originally discovered four years ago, but the coins have finally been identified by experts.
It's thought the money was buried by its owner around the time of the Black Death, in the 14th century.
The coins have now officially been declared 'treasure' and will go to a special panel of antique experts so that they can be valued.

I have yet to find anything exciting with my Metal Detector, but I know exactly where the pins that mark the corners of my lot are.
