Default UK Treasure Story

A HAUL of Roman coins found near Wrexham could be set for a place in the British Museum.

John Formstone is a member of metal-detecting group Wrexham Heritage Society, and had only been metal detecting for 18 months when he found 92 silver Roman coins aged nearly 2,000 years. Just five days later he found another five, taking the total haul to 97.
