Hi, my name is Louie and I am 15 years old. I am an avid metal detectorist and while out with an organised dig (with the Soil Searchers) I found a once in a lifetime find. The penny is a ceonwulf saxon penny.

One of the terms of the club is for any finds over a certain value they need to be sold and 1/2 of its value split with the farmer. I would like to keep the coin as part of my collection, but being 15 I can't quite get the funds together!

So this Gofundme is appealing to fellow detectorists and enthusiasts who will donate a £1 to get me closer to my goal of buying the farmers share of the coin and keeping it in my personal collection.
