He said: "My dad's a farmer and he said a mole had been digging holes and dug up a very old coin.

"We can just about make out that it dates back to 1919.

"My dad plans to keep it but we'd love to speak to a local historian to try and find out a bit more - and perhaps find out what it's worth though I don't think it's a million.

"We're not too keen to publicise the exact location but it's quite unusual as no-one really walks through there and it definitely didn't drop out of my dad's pocket.

"My 92-year-old aunt still lives at the location so we don't want to encourage people to come along and start searching the area but we'd love to find out more."

Anyone who is interested in seeing the coin you can email Chris on chrisbownass@yahoo.com.
