Re: More than half a tonne of ancient Roman coins

Another amazing find - thanks for posting :g50:

I am sure another large hoard of Roman coins has yet to be found somewhere in the UK too.

I bet they would have given a good signal on the Deus :g58: :g42: :g50:

Re: Discuss The Benefits Of Metal Detectorists

You only have to look at one of the Portable Antiquities and Treasure Annual Reports to see how important metal detectorists are to Archaeology in the UK, with over 90% of all treasure finds reported annually are found by metal detectorists - enough said I think!
