echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 8:41 pm Wow! what a fantastic find. I could only guess how thriller he was to find it. Makes me want to move to the UK and start to metal detect. Report this Post to the Staff
Spott Valued Member United States 263 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 9:23 pm We should ask him if he wants to join CCF and sell a few pretties! I thought this part was great: A team of heritage experts who have been involved in the site's excavation have nothing but praise for the finder of the hoard. Anna Booth said: "The discovery at Frome stands out as a story, mainly because Dave Crisp reported it immediately to his local coroner."This meant we got to excavate the site in its original, undisturbed state. Mr. Crisp took part in this process with us, even going to the extent of camping there one night with his grandson, to make sure that the site was safe over night." Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16859 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 10:22 pm The Frome Hoard is old news; the article dates from 2010 shortly after the hoard was found. It now has its own Wikipedia page which contains a detailed breakdown by emperor of the hoard contents as analysed so far. As for the question in the thread title: it cannot be denied that there are similarities between ancient coins and fossil fuels. There's only a finite amount of them in the ground to start with, our technology and techniques for finding them and digging them up are constantly improving and more and more people are out there looking. It only stands to reason that sooner or later, we're going to run out. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 05:43 am That was a nice find and one of the largest reported finds in the UK. There are loads of coins buried waiting to be discovered, it won't be long before another hoard turns up - to put more coins onto the market, or add to a museums already huge collection. I have not had time to get out with mine recently, but come February I will be out and about. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff
