The above link has some really great shots and background information on some brilliant hoards, will have you drooling over the gold coins and artifacts and make you want to grab the machine and head off out to the fields, Liam :D

Hi Gaz, i was lucky enough to be involved in finding a roman coin hoard a few years ago which went to the british museum to be cleaned & recorded etc, they made a fantastic job of it & requested that they keep a few of my coins that they didn't have in their collection,and handed the rest back,i was more than happy to do this, so somewhere in there they have some of my finds.. :)
