Terry Herbert's day of metal detecting begins like any other, with him reciting his lucky mantra. However, this time he alters it slightly, asking for gold instead of coins. Within 30 minutes, he finds an object that initially appears to be brass but might be gold. As he continues, he discovers more gold pieces and a sword pommel, leading to excitement and disbelief. Terry shares his findings with Farmer Fred, who is skeptical at first. Over the following days, Terry uncovers more treasures, leading to exhaustion and dreams filled with gold.
