A mystery benefactor who has been leaving gold coins worth an estimated £100,000 in churches across England has been identified as a Hells Angels biker named James, according to an investigation by Daily Mail journalist David Jones. The story has drawn attention because of the unusual and generous nature of the donations, combined with the surprising identity of the donor, whose motives and background contrast with the quiet, charitable acts he has been carrying out.

Jones traces the coins' trail through various English churches and suggests that further caches of gold may still be hidden and yet to be discovered. The full details of how the coins were found, their exact value at individual sites, and James's own account of his actions were not included in the available article text.
