Continuing my quest to find the Accrington hoard,i decided to take the metal detector for a walk again.
After digging several holes,unearthing nothing but ring pulls,bottle tops and tin foil ,the metal detector went off the scale.
As my heart beat got faster and my excitement grew, I carefully dug the area in anticipation of the treasure that I would soon behold. Suddenly, I felt a shudder as my trowel made contact with a metallic sounding object....
....Imagine my disappointment as I pulled out a ruddy old key
After setting it to just coins and adjusting the sensitivity the coins started rolling in (including a sterling silver shilling
).
