History Lover

Eric Lawes has always been interested in history and especially if it has some treasure stories involved with it. But what is that one thing that every treasure hunter is required? Interest yes, but there is one thing that he requires the most. He didn’t have that but when he did, things started to change and he discovered the most astonishing treasure of the century.

A Field In Hoxne Village


On his retirement day, Eric got that one thing every treasure hunter needs the most. It was a metal detector that he always thought of buying which he received as a gift on his retirement. Who could have thought that his retirement would be so fruitful and things would end up in a most unexpected way for him? Now he had a metal detector but where to use it. The opportunity was given to him but it wasn’t meant for finding a treasure.

The Opportunity

One day, a farmer asked Eric to use his metal detector on his farm because he lost his hammer on his field in Hoxne village, Suffolk. He told him that even trying several times he couldn’t find it and the hammer was very close to his heart and he really want to find it. Eric couldn’t ignore this farmer’s request and he agreed to use his metal detector on his farm. Instead of a hammer, he found something great that changed his and farmer’s lives forever.

On The Field

The next day Eric was in Hoxne village, Suffolk. A metal detector in his one hand he made his way on the field. The farmer kept his distance and was looking at Eric who was enjoying the exploration thought it was to find the hammer. Still, he seemed very excited like a child who gets a new toy and who play with all day. The field was big and Eric asked about the last spot where farmer think he used his hammer. Beep!Beep!Beep! Now, what’s that?

No Hammer There

Eric was really amazed by the beep sound that felt to him like Christmas bells on Christmas Eve. When people love something, they just can’t express the feeling of living the moment. Eric heard the sound was just excited to hear it beep for the first time. It wasn’t the hammer but something else when they started digging the spot on which the detector beeped. He kept his metal detector aside and the shovel was on work. He could see that something great was on the way.
