Paul Capewell, a 59-year-old metal detectorist from Selston, Nottinghamshire, has discovered a rare Roman coin valued at up to £6,000 in a field he has searched for over 20 years. The denarius, issued by Emperor Trajan in 107 AD, was found just five meters from his car after a session of fruitless searching. Capewell only realized the coin's significance after consulting a coin dealer and it has since been recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme. The coin is set to be auctioned at Noonans Mayfair on October 22, with a rare market presence of only two similar coins in the last 25 years. Capewell plans to split the proceeds with the landowner and intends to use his share for a new metal detector or to fund upcoming heart surgery after suffering a heart attack. He described this find as his most exciting discovery to date.
