An anonymous reader writes “A novice metal detector has found one of the largest roman gold coin hoards ever unearthed in the UK. From the article: ‘National newspapers reported on Wednesday that the man, from Berkhamsted, had been sold a beginner’s metal detector from the town’s High Street-based Hidden History for £135. He is reported to have gone back with 40 of the “solidi” coins, dating to the last days of Roman rule in Britain, and asked: “What do I do with this?”’”
