their happy home when the sun was out

0:35
Kate happened to be more interesting in
0:37
the dirt than those pesky weeds but her
0:39
mother did not mind loving to see her
0:41
daughter having fun
0:43
Kate was scooping up piles of soil when
0:45
a phenomenal shining thing caught her
0:47
eye
0:48
the silver coin had revealed itself
0:50
Kate tucked the coin away in her dress
0:52
keeping the discovery a secret from her
0:54
mother this was her special prize she
0:57
was not about to let anyone else take it
0:59
from her as she bolted for the bathroom
1:01
to clean it
1:02
the coin was ancient and in bad shape it
1:05
seemed to have been in the ground for
1:06
many years
1:08
the young girl scrutinized and turned
1:10
the coin around in her hand for seven
1:11
full days before hiding it deep inside
1:14
her dresser drawer with the passage of
1:16
time the coin would Fade Into the back
1:18
of the girl's mind in just a few years
1:20
time however the treasure would bring
1:22
chaos into her life just months
1:25
following her precious rediscovery
1:26
Kate's mom passed away
1:29
the coin's presence brought a flood of
1:31
emotional Nostalgia as she recalled how
1:33
she had found the coin while gardening
1:35
with her beloved mother Kane could not
1:38
cope with the death of her mother
1:39
the coin was all she had to keep her
1:41
going bringing her a maternal sense of
1:43
comfort and happy memories a long time
1:46
passed before the mysterious coin became
1:49
an even greater source of emotion
1:51
Kate decided that she would do her best
1:53
to learn about the coin at the age of 23
1:56
the coin's secrets could no longer be
1:58
ignored
2:00
she promptly headed off to a local
2:01
Museum where she filled a professional
2:04
in on the nature of her discovery
2:06
Kate needed them to Aid her in
2:07
uncovering the coin's secret worth
2:10
the Museum's numismatist revealed to
2:12
Kate that what she had found all those
2:14
years ago was not in fact a coin but
2:17
something exceptionally unique she was
2:19
speechless what could her childhood
2:21
treasure actually be the coin which that
2:24
little girl on earth turned out to be a
2:26
historical United Kingdom piece of which
2:28
there were only four of the experts then
2:31
revealed to Kate that what she had
2:32
either hand was called a p Fort
2:34
something far thicker and weightier than
2:37
anything used as currency in the past
2:40
any untrained eye would mistake this
2:42
extraordinary P for it is a fancy coin
2:45
Kate could not understand how something
2:46
like this would have made its way to her
2:48
backyard
2:49
theories have been put forward that
2:51
these are exemplars which were used as
2:53
mentors to estimate large amounts for
2:55
merchants regardless
2:57
the experts were assured that it was
3:00
highly valuable if not the reason for
3:02
this worth the pine Ford and Kate's hand
3:04
could very well have been as old as 700
3:07
years
3:08
her mind found it exceedingly difficult
3:10
to process everything that the Learned
3:12
Scholars were telling her
3:14
talk about information overload Kate's
3:16
pie Fort was a dedicatory item which had
3:19
been created to honor the 1322 Ascension
3:22
to the French throne by Charles Ivey
3:24
this was one England's most valued
3:27
relics obviously being worth the small
3:30
fortune Kate was more than convinced
3:32
that she was in possession of a hugely
3:34
expensive historical piece
3:36
the expert Museum staff calculated the p
3:39
for its worth to be around three
3:41
thousand dollars
3:42
Kate instantly began fantasizing about
3:44
all the Fantastic things she could do
3:47
with that much money
3:48
K did have a Sentimental attachment to
3:50
the P Fort however as it was a motherly
3:53
momentum
3:54
she was then of two minds when it came
3:56
to the sale of this piece these memories
3:59
and connections were invaluable
4:01
and nothing could bring her more comfort
4:03
in the world
4:04
Kate had chosen a museum called Ludlow
4:06
for help its illustrious members were
4:09
insistent that she should pass ownership
4:11
onto them offering to call in more
4:13
expert help to secure an official
4:15
evaluation
4:17
Kate was being hard-pressed to sell the
4:19
thing to them Kate was easily able to
4:22
turn the grasping Museum employees down
4:24
heading back home with the item in hand
4:26
with her silver Treasure in hand
4:29
she was under the impression that she
4:31
was now the rightful owner and that she
4:33
would never let it go
4:34
she was oblivious to the impending legal
4:36
battle on her hands Kate was under the
4:39
impression that the Museum's threats
4:40
were toothless unbeknownst to her they
4:43
were ready to bring in the big guns
4:44
having brought in Anthony civsy from the
4:47
south Shropshire Police Department to
4:49
help them with their case
4:51
that was when Kate opened her door one
4:53
day to a couple of several police
4:54
officers who handed her a court summons
4:57
Kate would soon be the first English
4:59
person to be charged with breaking the
5:01
treasure Act of 1996.
5:04
she was struggling to believe that this
5:06
was happening to her this was a
5:08
completely innocent childhood find and
5:10
yet she was being regarded by the
5:12
authorities by the criminal
5:13
the police were firm on their stand
5:16
Kate had committed a crime by keeping
5:18
quiet on her treasure while not agreeing
5:20
to hand the special coin over to the
5:22
museum which just made matters worse
5:25
the student felt like she had been
5:27
completely misrepresented
5:29
Kate's worry turned to despair very
5:31
quickly it was then that she severely
5:33
began missing her mother's presence as
5:35
the police began swarming her house she
5:37
felt like there's no one she could turn
5:39
to the police put her in handcuffs and
5:42
were doggedly committed to her
5:43
prosecution
5:44
she was now facing the possibility of
5:46
months behind bars Kate was in need of
5:49
the best legal help possible Brendan
5:51
Reedy a lawyer from Shrewsbury with a
5:54
commendable name and defense would come
5:56
your raid the gentleman was a veteran
5:58
Magistrate's court defense attorney
5:59
within the court of appeals the Crown
6:02
Court and the magistrates Court he gave
6:05
Kate his word that he would ensure her
6:06
freedom and end this nightmare in no
6:09
time at all
6:10
Brendan Reedy then constructed Kate's
6:12
defense according to the nully age of
6:14
five at which he found the treasure
6:16
something which held a significant
6:18
emotional importance to her today
6:20
he backed up his claim of Innocence with
6:22
the fact that this coin had laid unused
6:24
within Kate's property for most of the
6:26
time she possessed it
6:28
the attorney and his client were hopeful
6:30
that they had put together a convincing
6:32
case they were sure however that they
6:34
faced an unsympathetic Court which would
6:37
do its best to wrestle the coin out of
6:39
Kate's hands all they could do was wait
6:42
they did not try to deny Kate's
6:44
hesitance to return the treasure even
6:46
after the relevant law had been made
6:48
clear to her
6:49
while Kate realized that she should have
6:52
handed in the pied for it it was the
6:54
sentimental attachment to it which
6:55
stayed her hand
6:56
would you give up the only attachment
6:58
you had left to a parent you might think
7:01
that Kate would have been scared into
7:02
giving up her Memento by now not so as
7:05
the more the authorities pushed the
7:08
stronger her resolved to keep it this
7:10
was not a case of greed or selfishness
7:12
Kate was psychologically unable to part
7:15
ways with a p Fort Kate somehow managed
7:17
to convince both the authorities and the
7:20
museum workers that the pine fort has
7:22
been lost there would be no more hunting
7:24
for it the Museum's chances of attaining
7:27
the treasure were finished when Kate's
7:29
case became publicly known the people
7:31
condemned the way that it had been
7:32
handled very few people agreed with the
7:35
way that this case had been handled with
7:37
widespread public outquery coming to
7:39
Kate's defense it was widely settled
7:41
that cake had rightfully come into
7:43
possession of the P fort
7:45
the people decided that the law should
7:47
have catered to the person who held the
7:49
item and not those who wanted it Kate
7:52
had been unfairly prosecuted and
7:54
victimized in a bullying and victimizing
7:56
manner Allen had more to say on the
7:59
matter
8:00
how could Kate have been legally
8:01
prosecutable at the tender age of nine
8:04
kids younger than 15 years were only
8:06
legitimately prosecutable if it was
8:08
known that they were sentient of their
8:10
crimes what was the outcome of this
8:12
Sensational treasure battle
8:14
Kate had safely hoarded the pied for it
8:16
for a full 14 years before she informed
8:19
the authorities that it had disappeared
8:21
of course we suspect that Kate would
8:23
never lose track of such a personally
8:25
precious trinket
8:27
there was no way that someone fighting
8:29
for their life over a coin would just
8:30
drop it in the street Kate is an
8:33
inspiration to us all
8:34
the Loyalty that she showed her mother
8:36
and to her principals would defy even
8:39
the most crushing and terrifying odds we
8:42
cannot shame her for going to creative
8:44
lengths to defend her rights how would
8:46
you have handled this situation if you
8:48
were Kate if you have lost a loved one
8:50
you might be able to empathize with
8:52
Kate's determination and will
8:54
no one can take away what you found
8:56
especially when it holds an
8:58
Irreplaceable status in your heart
