An Anglesey man and two others are be sentenced next month for conspiring to supply cocaine.
Ian Paul McGuigan, aged 39, of Ty Croes, Rhosneigr, previously admitted the charge and a separate one of possessing prohibited ammunition - seven hollow point bullets.
He admitted possessing a prohibited weapon, a stun gun, disguised as a mobile phone, and acquiring criminal property.
McGuigan appeared at Mold Crown Court for his basis of plea to be considered.
Judge Keith Thomas accepted his basis of plea that he had spent £15,000 to buy cocaine jointly with a man he refused to name.
The other man put up the remainder of the money and the cocaine, said to have a very high purity of 97 per cent, was delivered to his home.
It was his intention to distribute that cocaine in its unadulterated state, he said.
A cutting agent which had been seized by police would not have been used to “cut” the cocaine but would have been sold as a separate entity, he said.
He admitted possessing the ammunition on the basis that he had found them in a field.
The stun gun had been left at the farm by a worker and he did not know what it was.
Anthony Donovan, aged 33, of Mullion Road, Croxteth, Liverpool, admitted conspiracy to supply illegal drugs and possessing criminal property on the basis that he was a courier.
The court heard that he had a hidden compartment within his vehicle to carry drugs but said it was the first time that he had made the journey.
The judge remanded both in custody so that they could be sentenced along with co-defendant Brian Townsend, 36, of Park View Road, Liverpool, who previously admitted the drugs conspiracy.
They will be sentenced at Caernarfon Crown Court in December.
