£1m 'perfect' US threepenny bit from the time of the Pilgrim Fathers found with Minelab Detector

08 Sep 2014

Minelab Detectorist John Stoner dug up the extremely rare New England coin in a field outside the village of King's Clipstone in Nottinghamshire.

 

The extremely rare New England coin, bearing the date 1652, is expected to sell for up to £1million when it is auctioned.

 

It has been hailed as one of the finest examples of a currency produced in the days of the Pilgrim Fathers in a land that would become the United States.
