一枚稀有的黄金硬币是由达德利附近农民田里的一位金属探测者发现的，在拍卖会上以4,700英镑的价格售出。

Ron Walters, 76, had been searching a section of land in Wall Heath, near Dudley in the West Midlands, for six years.

现年76岁的罗恩·沃尔特斯（Ron Walters）一直在西米德兰兹（West Midlands）附近的达德利（Dudley）附近的沃尔·希思（Wall Heath）搜索一部分土地，已有六年的历史了。

Last May, the retired welder's efforts paid off when he stumbled across an artefact dating back to 69AD.

去年五月，退休的焊工偶然发现的人工制品可以追溯到69AD时，他的努力得到了回报。

The coin, which is an aureus of Aulus Vitellius, was the first of its kind to be recorded as a find in England.

硬币是Aulus Vitellius的金黄色，是第一个在英格兰发现的同类硬币。

It is also the only coin of Aulus Vitellius to be sold at auction in the last 12 years.

它也是过去12年在拍卖会上出售的Aulus Vitellius的唯一硬币。

Aulus Vitellius was Roman emperor for eight months, from 19 April to 20 December AD 69—the last of Nero's three short-lived successors.

Aulus Vitellius是罗马皇帝八个月，从4月19日至12月20日公元69年，这是Nero的三位短期继任者中的最后一次。

Vitellius came to power after the defeat of Emperor Otho in a civil war between rival claimants to the imperial throne.

在敌对索赔人与帝国王位之间的内战中，奥索皇帝击败了皇帝，维特利乌斯上台。

His reign was characterized by indulgence in luxury, feasting, and an excessive lifestyle, which contrasted with the growing instability within the empire.

他的统治的特征是放纵奢侈品，盛宴和过度生活方式，与帝国内日益增长的不稳定形成鲜明对比。

After Ron's remarkable discovery, the coin was sent to the British Museum, which disclaimed it.

在罗恩（Ron）出色的发现之后，硬币被送往大英博物馆，该博物馆否认了它。

It was then returned to Ron before it went under the hammer at Fieldings Auctioneers in Stourbridge, West Midlands on Thursday.

然后，它于周四在西米德兰兹郡斯托布里奇的菲尔德斯拍卖行的锤子下返回罗恩。

To Ron's delight, the item sold for £4,700. The proceeds will now be split between the landowner and himself.

令罗恩（Ron）高兴的是，该物品的售价为4,700英镑。现在的收益将在土地所有者和他本人之间分配。

Ron revealed that he stumbled across the incredible find after being told by his wife to "bugger off and get out the house for a bit."

罗恩（Ron）透露，他的妻子告诉“ bug乱出来并撤离房子”之后，他偶然发现了令人难以置信的发现。

"I was glad I did. I was out for a couple of hours and I picked a signal up. I started digging a bit but then lost the signal.

“我很高兴自己做到了。我出去了几个小时，然后捡起了一个信号。我开始挖了一点，但随后丢失了信号。

"I managed to get this reading again from a clod of earth about 2ft away from me, I broke it open and then this coin dropped into my hand."

“我设法从距离我约2英尺的地球块中再次获得了读物，我打开了它，然后把硬币掉进了手中。”

Ron continued: "My heart was racing, I just popped it in my pocket and went straight back home.

罗恩继续说：“我的心在赛车，我只是把它弹出在口袋里，直接回到家。

"In metal detecting circles, a Roman coin is probably among the best things you can find."

“在金属探测圈中，罗马硬币可能是您能找到的最好的东西之一。”

When asked how he felt after the coin has fetched almost 5k at auction, Ron replied: "I thought it might go for a bit more but it's been amazing to be part of a historic discovery and it's certainly something to tell the grandkids.

当被问到硬币在拍卖会上取得近5k之后的感觉时，罗恩回答说：“我认为这可能会有更多，但是成为一个历史性发现的一部分真是太神奇了，当然可以告诉孙子孙子们。

"I'll keep on searching for more treasures with my metal detector but they did tell me this was a once in a lifetime find, so I doubt I'll find anything like this ever again."

“我将继续用我的金属探测器寻找更多的宝藏，但他们确实告诉我这是一生的发现，所以我怀疑我会再发现这样的东西。”
