If this happened to anyone here - would you be telling anyone, let alone announcing to the country via a tabloid rag?

I can't be the only one who would pick them up, walk home with a smile on my face and a spring in my step, pop them with the rest and say no more about it. Surely.

Obviously if it was actual declarable treasure that's different, but modern sovs?! Equally if I read that a fundraiser for the local orphanage had mislaid said sovereign then I'd happily hand them over.

Otherwise, mum's the word. Does that make me a bad guy?

That's it! I'm taking my golden retriever back for a refund and getting one of those

So it does!

I noticed it said "Mr Clark, who works in property, took the coins to be examined by Chards in Blackpool, one of the country’s leading gold dealers, which valued them at £5,943.96."

What do they mean "one of"?
