Yeah good question @mcshilling. As a back of the envelope calculation for retail value (assuming all coins are relatively common and in typically worn condition):

2,200 Medieval silver deniers @ $50 each = $110,000
21 Islamic gold dinars @ $1000 each = $21,000
Gold signet ring, gold leaf, and gold coin = $5,000

That is a rough total of $140K. Anyone agree or disagree?

I would happily trade 3 horses. I'm sure my wife would understand, especially considering how much we would save on feed.

I would love to be able to go on a dig and find something like that.

Was not sure which of the two threads to respond to ... but the tremendous CCF admin/mod dudes resolved that for us.

Outstanding find indeed ... the photographs in the other tread (now locked) were quite impressive.
