While professionals have been searching for ancient, Celtic coins for a number of years, it was a group of amateur treasure hunters who hit the jackpot. In the Channel Islands, these hunters discovered millions of dollars worth of ancient coins. Nearly 50,000 silver and bronze coins were brought up, dating back to 50 BC. The men with that credit are Reg Mead and Richard Miles, who have been searching the Channel Islands for over 30 years. “We [searched] for 40 to 50 hours to get these,” said Mead. “Every one gives you the same buzz.”
