When the metal detector started to signal something under the ground they thought they had found the ring and instead father Paul shouted "below there are millions – this is the moment we have always dreamed of! Run Michael here. " Paul, from Keighley, Yorkshire, said: "It's something I dreamed of finding since I was a child. It was an amazing feeling. It's like checking lottery numbers and realizing you've made a jackpot ». "At first I saw one or two coins, I had no idea of ​​the size of the treasure – he adds – I went to get Michael who was on the other side of the field so he could share the moment together. I was trembling, I still can't believe it. " The video footage of the moment when Paul and Michael dig the underground treasure show them that they pull a muddy coin after the other from under the ground. Engineer Paul smiles at Michael holding the phone as he struggles to contain his excitement. The coins were sent to the Ulster Museum for official identification and assessment by a team of experts. It will take several months for the 84 coins to be evaluated in full, but Paul said other experts told him that the whole amount could be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Paul also said that he and Michael usually study old maps looking for signs of ancient settlements or battlefields. "We just returned from a business trip to China and Michael said he knew a nice little place where we could go to Ireland to use our metal detectors. But in that field we went only to look for the wedding ring lost by a friend. We didn't find the ring, we were there only a couple of hours when suddenly we found the coins. I dug a small hole and there they were. I could not believe". Last updated at 8:17 pm
