The tip-off and the 30-year treasure hunt

It began with drinks one Sunday when a woman told Reg Mead a story; her father was ploughing a field when he came across a pot full of ancient silver coins. He scooped up what he could and then ploughed the rest into the field. Reg is a metal detectorist and he was instantly hooked. With his friend Richard Miles they set off on a search that would last for 30 years.Get in touch: [email protected]: Jo Fidgen Producer: Andrea Kennedy(Photo: Richard Miles (left) and Reg Mead.
