England's Bredon Hill yields 3,784 mainly bronze Roman coins
In a little more than five minutes, a metal detectorist uncovered a hoard hidden for centuries.
In the summer of 2011, a hoard of 3,784 mainly bronze Roman coins was found at Bredon Hill in Worcestershire, a previously unknown Roman site. It is the county’s largest such find and one of national importance.
The hoard is believed to have been buried about A.D. 350, with the coins dating to between a period around A.D. 244 to 282. Experts suggest that the timing of the coins’ burial makes the hoard unique in Britain.
