Congratulations johnus - interesting video.

What were the final numbers and which emperors out of curiosity.

Well done to the finders - I guess we'll be reading about it in the press soon.

Cheers
Neil

Neil just to say you Wales guy's are a great lot and I have not been on one of your digs for ages and I really really miss em.I would really love to come on one or two again this year but you know what it is like running a club it is bloody hard work you and Taff know that.Anyway Neil I can only say at the moment that numbers are increasing all the time I can tell you they span first and second century Mark Anthony Hadrian Trajan Pius Vesapian Titus etc etc as well as Empresses all the coins are with the British museum and Sam Moorhead, Philipa Walton, and Elanor Gayle have been working hard to go through them.I guess they will be treasure and im very proud of all the members that found the coins.I have found three from the first hoard and they are in perfect silver condition and all first century.Neil as you know with our dig we raise money for charities and so far Timeline has raised over two thousand pounds now for needing charities and something im really proud of since starting the club last June Neil Tafflaff and all of you thankyou so much for letting me share this story with you all after all we are all metal detector brothers at heart.Keep up the stunning work you will see me again one day I promise if you will have me LOL john (Johnus Maximus).
