Man finds coin lost for 102 years

LONDON, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- A British man said
he has found a gold sovereign, worth about
$222, that was lost on his farm more than
100 years ago.
Alan Booton, 64, said he heard a story about
a previous occupant of the Greatham, England,
farm losing the coin, which was a gift for
his daughter's wedding, in 1907, The Times
of London reported Monday.
Booton said he found the lost coin with the
help of metal detecting enthusiast John
Forster. He said the coin bears the image
of King Edward VII and St. George on the
opposite side.
