A fellow treasure hunting in the UK dug a huge pot of over 10,000 3rd-4th Century AD Roman bronze and silver coins last month.  That's right, 10,000!!! Wanna hear the kicker?  It was his first time out looking for treasure! Talk about beginner's luck. Total weight of the pot and coins is around 70 pounds.  The clay pot was almost intact minus the top that was likely broken off by a deep plowing at some point in time.  This caused quite a few of the coins to spread in the general area of the pot.  He found around 300 of these dispersed coins.  Wanna bet there are a few more out there hiding?  What a great hobby!
