Unearthed 1,300 pounds – half a ton-of Roman coins

[tomredmayne]

In Tomares, Spain, whilst digging ditches and laying pipes, workers stumbled upon a literal treasure trove.

It seems that sometime in the past, one person (or several people) buried nineteen jars filled with Roman coins in what would become Zaudin Park. Naturally after the find, all work on the park has been halted for now.

Experts are hailing the discovery as unique. Nine of the nineteen jars (or amphoras) were intact — although several broke during excavation — and all of the jars contained thousands of bronze and silver-coated coins.

Wow indeed - I wonder if you would get a good signal with the Deus on one of those amphora's at a depth of a metre (meter)

Those Romans were certainly very prolific with their coinage
