guy Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Interesting article. September 7th, 2009 by daniel pett A very large and important find of a hoard of Roman coins was recently discovered by a novice metal detector user in the Shrewsbury area. This is probably one of the largest coin hoards ever discovered in Shropshire. The finder, Mr Nic. Davies, bought his first metal detector a month ago and this is his first find made with it. The hoard was discovered close to a public bridleway on land that Mr Davies did not have permission to detect on. All land is owned by someone and it is important that permission to search is obtained in advance. The coins were placed in a very large storage jar which had been buried in the ground around 1700 years ago. They had lain undisturbed since then waiting for someone to find them again. http://www.finds.org.uk/wordpress/?p=722 I want to thank Brian from cointalk.com for the article. guy also known as gaius Edited April 8, 2012 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
