这一极其罕见的发现可以追溯到 1000 年前,是由一群探测爱好者在未耕种的土地上挖掘出来的
A team of seven metal detectorists have sold the UK's richest-ever treasure hoard to the nation for a record-breaking £4.3million.
由七名金属探测器组成的团队以破纪录的 430 万英镑向全国出售了英国有史以来最丰富的宝藏。
The extremely rare find, dating back 1,000 years, was dug up by the group of detecting enthusiasts in an unploughed field, in the Chew Valley area of north east Somerset, in January 2019.
这一极其罕见的发现可以追溯到 1000 年前,是一群探测爱好者于 2019 年 1 月在萨默塞特郡东北部 Chew Valley 地区的一块未耕种的土地上挖掘出来的。
The 2,584 silver coins are made up of King Harold II pennies from the end of Anglo-Saxon England and William the Conqueror coins, after the 1066 Norman conquest.
这 2,584 枚银币由盎格鲁-撒克逊英格兰末期的哈罗德二世国王硬币和 1066 年诺曼征服后的征服者威廉硬币组成。
The bulk of the coins were found by detectorists Adam Staples and Lisa Grace, who are believed to have become millionaires through the sale.
大部分硬币是由探测器亚当·斯台普斯和丽莎·格雷斯发现的,据信他们通过这次销售成为了百万富翁。
Meanwhile the landowner, whose identity is not being revealed, is also entitled to a life-changing 50 per cent of the proceeds, a staggering £2.15million.
与此同时,身份未透露的土地所有者也有权获得改变生活的 50% 收益,即惊人的 215 万英镑。
Many of the coins are in mint condition and experts say they would have been a substantial amount of money at the time and belonged to an important, wealthy person who probably buried them for safekeeping.
许多硬币都完好无损,专家表示,它们在当时可能是一笔巨款,属于一位重要的富人,他很可能将它们埋藏起来妥善保管。
As King Harold's reign only lasted nine months, before he was famously struck in the eye by an arrow at the Battle of Hastings, coins from that period are incredibly rare.
由于哈罗德国王的统治只持续了九个月,之后他在黑斯廷斯战役中被箭射中眼睛,因此那个时期的硬币非常罕见。
The hoard also contains coins struck by previously-unknown moneyers.
宝库中还包含一些以前不为人知的钱商铸造的硬币。
Mr Staples, 48, said of the dig in a BBC interview in 2019: 'We didn't leave the site until we thought we'd got all the coins.
48 岁的斯台普斯先生在 2019 年接受 BBC 采访时谈到这次挖掘:“直到我们认为我们已经得到了所有硬币,我们才离开现场。
'We had a massive thunder and rainstorm. We were all soaking wet by the time we finished.'
“我们遭遇了一场巨大的雷雨和暴雨。当我们完成时,我们都湿透了。
Mr Staples and Ms Grace, 47, had been training five friends on how to use metal detectors when they made the discovery.
斯台普斯先生和 47 岁的格蕾丝女士发现这一情况时,正在培训五位朋友如何使用金属探测器。
The other finders will also receive a share of the proceeds, probably in the tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds.
其他发现者也将获得收益的一部分,可能是数万或数十万英镑。
The hoard is the highest value treasure on record, beating the famous Staffordshire Hoard from 2009 - the biggest collection of buried coins and artefacts discovered in Britain - which was worth £3.3million.
该宝藏是有记录以来价值最高的宝藏,击败了 2009 年著名的斯塔福德郡宝藏——英国发现的最大的埋藏硬币和文物收藏——价值 330 万英镑。
The Chew Valley Hoard, which was reported under the Treasure Act (1996), has been acquired by the South West Heritage Trust after they received a £4.42million grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund also covering display costs.
根据《宝藏法》(1996 年)报告,Chew Valley Hoard 已被西南遗产信托基金收购,该基金会从国家彩票遗产基金获得了 442 万英镑的赠款,该赠款还涵盖了展示费用。
This was boosted by £150,000 from Art Fund, and smaller grants from the Friends of The Museum of Somerset and the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society.
艺术基金提供了 15 万英镑,萨默塞特博物馆之友和萨默塞特考古与自然历史协会提供了小额赠款,这也推动了这一项目的发展。
The hoard will go on display at the British Museum on November 26 and will then tour several museums before the Museum of Somerset becomes its permanent home.
该宝藏将于 11 月 26 日在大英博物馆展出,随后将在萨默塞特博物馆成为其永久所在地之前在多个博物馆巡回展出。
