Later, the news spread, and the villagers believed that the place where the coins were found could belong to a homeowner more than 1,000 years ago based on local folk tales recounted.
Archaeologists soon arrived, and excavations were completed on October 22. About 5.6 tons of ancient coins were excavated, a total of nearly 300,000 coins were found.
The coins are dated from the Song Dynasty (960-1279), meaning that the coin is over 800 years old, archaeologists conclude.
Feng Ruqin, the manager of the Fuliang Museum, said the coin must be collected by an archaeological organization, the cultural body and its value unrelated to the present owner.
Feng said the next job would include rust cleaning, weighing and sorting, as well as scientific research on these coins would take another two or three years.
