I suppose it depends where you live, I used to do a lot of metal detecting on the east coast, from the Humber, North, and used to find Roman coins on the beaches though not that common, a lot of it is to do with the way the sea is eroding the land away and washing what were fields in to the sea.

By far and the best place I used to go was on the River Humber estuary at 2 places North and South Ferriby, depending on how bad the weather had been and how high and fast the river had been, lots of land is being eroded away here all the time, there was a big roman settlement at South Ferriby and a roman crossing to North Ferriby. it was always hit and miss depending on the factors I mentioned above, sometimes you could come away with a small handful of Roman coins or come away with nothing, always of course being wary of the tides and mud banks along there.
