I think the majority of us would do the same Geoff.  After you've dug up buckets, hub caps and field gates you sort of get the burnt finger syndrome.

The Deus is great but,  sorry, not buying the 'Deus has proven itself claim' here. A hoard that size would be picked up by any machine. As has been stated before, the chances are its not been dug as the signal was too big.  Smiley

ps Dale, even at £100 a coin the value would be over a million not 100k, You dropped a zero somewhere Smiley

Rob you got the wrong man lol Cheesy

You would need 10,000 at £100 to get the million though, Geoff said 5225 coins were declared, its still a good holiday....... Im getting confused now with all these £££'sss Undecided Cheesy

hoards usually contain 1 or 2 coins that are unique and never been seen before and that could add up to a 5 figure sum

Coin rubbing is more of a collectors obsession when they're in that condition it was dropping them all in the same bag was what got me, I'm amazed they didn't block lift it Huh

thats what i thought surly taking it out in a block would of been the right way, oh well lets see if the valuation is gonna be £1.3 million or more like £250,000,then again the BM if they have it will probably offer £25,000 if that.

Agree I thought the same, the way it was excavated was very unprofessional.
