Thanks, should be interesting as there's an archaeologist involved. Quite a number of this type of show in recent years.
A hoard of gold coins that once belonged to a well-to-do Hull merchant family is set to make a couple richer to the tune of £250k after they were unearthed from beneath their kitchen floor.
The incredible haul of 264 coins, some dating from 1610 to 1727 and the time of the reigns of James I and Charles I and to George I, was only discovered when the couple ripped up their kitchen floor in their 18th century detached home. Thinking at first that they had found some electric cabling, the shocked pair had actually uncovered a metal cup the size of a Coke can, filled to the brim with 400-year-old gold coins.

There were no bank accounts for the majority of people till the 20th Century so there's every chance some cash was stashed somewhere in old properties.
Ah, so this is where you're hiding loser.
Nice one, wonder what the story was, a very wealthy person maybe who died in a battle.
Some parsimonious Jock tightwad stashed a load of coins under his bed for several hundred years. I fail to see how this is news.
Medieval coin haul worth £150,000 unearthed by amateurs is declared treasure
It was discovered by seven men on the Culden Faw Estate in Buckinghamshire in April 2019.
Their finds – nicknamed the ‘Hambleden Hoard’ – including 12 rare gold nobles from the reign of Edward III.
At an inquest last week at Beaconsfield Coroners Court, senior coroner Crispin Butler said the hoard met the criteria for treasure after reading a report by Dr Barrie Cook, a curator at the British Museum.
On the first day they found 276 silver coins and nine gold nobles, and all admit they barely slept due to excitement.
Over three days the team’s hoard grew to 545 silver coins plus fragments, and 12 gold nobles.
Some of them have been doing the hobby for less than a year at the time.
