I have been drooling over this other story, too. Nice coins and an honest workman.

Two great finds!!!

Two fantastic discoveries, but...

I appreciate that when these hoards are discovered the coins are all just laying loose, but you would imagine that as soon as someone archeologically qualified, or from a museum, arrives they would be handled with 'kid gloves'. Instead, photos of the coins in the media (e.g. the Bonhams picture) always seem to show them piled up on top of each other, presumably for effect. I'm not sure I would treat them that way if they were mine!

Both fantastic finds.

Nice for the French worker that his honesty has been so handsomely rewarded.
