mostly about UK and European old coins, but still interesting.

Here is a great post:
Back in May 2018 . three years now!
l was searching in a field that l have been searching now for 30 years or more and had not found very much of note. So l was surprised to find several 3rd century Roman radiates. so l was being extra careful using my ten year old standard T2.. eventually l came across a "different " solid signal and sensed that it could be special. At about 10 inches l could see some green down the bottom of my hole.(it was late and dusk ) on a Friday . l could see that it was going to be difficult and would take some time so l filled the hole up and made sure that l could find it again.
l knew that l had found a hoard but l contained myself .(easy when you're over 80)
Rang the FLO over the weekend and left a message . she rang me back Monday afternoon and l met her at the farm that evening . where we arranged to have a small dig with another man from the British Museum the next day (Tues). Spent a long day with them and recovered the coins .
Around 9000 or so. when l know anymore l will add to this post...... Hutch.
and we get excided over a large cent. But hey, we aren't in the UK.
