A Brilliant find and just in time with the proposed changes to the Treasure act.

Mind you the hidden overheads when selling a valuable find can be horrendous.

Thanks for posting Willy I was unaware of this coin.

Jerry.

Aye, it’s a belter.


On a bizarre note, at the end of the text is a video showing a bloke finding a Roman hoard, the bloke Dave was my detecting partner 12 years ago .
Spooky that I thought
