I spied this article link on one of the other coin forums. It is dated Mar 22nd and discusses a find of approx 30,000 roman coins near the site of an old bath house in the UK. These news stories continue to fascinate me.

    It will be interesting to see what coins they find once they get it broken apart.

    When I was around 12, my dad gave me one of the "unsearched" bags of 2,500 Lincoln Wheats for my birthday. It provided many hours of enjoyment but the one thing I remember is how heavy it was. A 30,000 stash is quite a lot of metal.
