Man finds 2300+ Roman coins.

You heard it first here....

A man in Wales, while laying a pipe in a field found a hoard of 2300+ Roman coins dating from 250 - 295AD. I think most are base metal. He has registered the find officially and the Crown will buy them from him to be put in a museum. He found them on his own land, so won't have to split the money!

I'll post more details when I know anything. I think it's possibly the biggest ever Welsh Roman coin hoard.

For obvious reasons I will not reveal his identity.

Those thieving Welsh had been raiding in England no doubt

Possible isn't it. No a lot of Roman finds come out of the earth in Celtic Wales so I hear.

Nice find especially on his own land, I expect he'll get ripped off by the valuation committee though.
