DETECTING FINDS GO TO AUCTION.

Spink London recently held its annual Spring auction of British and World Coins and Medals, featuring a curated collection of 390 lots. One highlight of the auction was a selection of detecting finds, including rare coins and medals. One notable find was a gold quarter stater bearing the name "ESUNERTOS," which had previously been discovered and sold at Spink. Another significant find was a seal matrix associated with the Knights Templar. The auction also featured a hoard of over 200 silver coins from the English Civil Wars and a rare Queen Anne guinea. The auction showcased the valuable contributions that detectorists make to the study of numismatics and our understanding of history. [Extracted from the article]
