This could be one of the most significant coin hoards for a very long time.
They are very dedicated detectorists and seem to acquire some excellent sites.
Good luck to them.

Adam and Lisa are a couple who have been making their mark for the last couple of years on the internet and also in the National magazines.

Me too, that will be a good story.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.
