Barbarous Radiate Hoard

Great finds!
 

After all this time - Just been declared treasure:
Derby Telegraph

Excavations still ongoing x
 

Nice article! Best luck to your mum.

I do take a bit of offense to "amateur treasure-hunter" though. You found 3600+ coins and a previously unknown Roman site! Surely that should promote you to "pro treasure-hunter".
:hello2:

Thanks for the updates, the find, the thread fun and vicarious fun, and your contribution to archaeology and history. :angel3:

Have there been any updates to this sight, Dave? Its just SOOO darned interesting!!!
 

Just read through this thread. Absolutely amazing. Certainly the kind of find so many of us will only dream about. What I wouldn't give to find a single coin of such historical significance, let alone everything that has been found at this site. If you have a moment I'm sure we would all love an update!!
 

Wow...that's amazing...I've found a new sense for the word jealousy...

But what will happen to the findings ?

Will you be able to keep something David ?...otherwise this story is sad beyond money...

great finds! a hoard! Wow!
Every detectorist dreams of finding such thing, too!
So few ever realize that they have found, a find of a lifetime!
 

How does the government there (or museums) put a cash value on these finds that the finders receive? I'm just curious as I've seen so many great and HISTORICAL finds that have come from the UK and I wondered how the finder/land owner is "rewarded".
 

Amazing finds ... Thanks for the great post!!!!
