bigjarofwasps Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 13K coin found doesn't sell newspapers I suppose. Time will tell at the end of the day it's only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 It books in the standard reference work at $12,000 in extremely fine condition. It appears to be a very nice example but much over £10,000 will be an exceptional price. Still I wouldn't mind finding something like that. Usually all UK metal detectors find is crotal bells and brooch pins.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 To see the power of a metal detector, read "Quest for the Lost Roman Legions: Discovering the Varus Battlefield" by Tony Clunn. Clunn alternates between his incredible modern quest, and the ancient tale of the Roman occupation of Germany (based upon actual finds from the battlefield) that ultimately ended so tragically in the peat bogs of Kalkriese.

Jock Auld Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 £10k is still better than a kick in the bollocks for a couple of minutes work? Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
