To be born English, and to be a metal detectorist, is like having a winning ticket, in life's lottery

We didn't it's just been on the news at ten on itv3, it showed the coins , most unfortunately by the look of it grots. Some though rare silver denarius of Carausius, usurper in Britain and north west Gaul A.D 287-293. A fantastic find.

Are you female ?, with stunning good looks, and aged between 18/22 years old. Failing that, can you laugh at yourself, and enjoy drinking lots of beer. If you match any of these criteria, there's a welcome waiting

[ColonialDude]

WOW!! Someday I will go detecting in the UK!

That is a fantastic find! I realize it's not the norm, but just to have the chance of finding something like that would be a real rush!

It's a shame, I will be in London in a week or so...only for 5 hours though killing time at Heathrow

Yep, it's very frustrating being here in America and seeing all the incredible stuff that's been found over there in recent years. The best us Yanks can possibly hope for is a 17th or 18th century coin or maybe a cache of 19th or 20th century coins. But in Britain everytime you dig a signal it could be Celtic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Viking or Medieval.
