Thanks evry1.... to answer the post previously, it was pot luck, no history of finds and no Roman coins ever recorded in the area.. To quote the farmer when I asked for permission on the phone.....
'well ok, you seem like a nice chap....but I dont think you'll find anything'
45 minutes later.....I made a phone call back to the farmer
'Hello Mr .... its the chap you let have permission to detect , can you come out to the field in your landrover, I have something to show you...can you bring some whisky?'
Lovely chap gave me all the coins and didnt want a single one when the museum returned them to me, he said I did all the work! I have since presented him and his wife with many of the cleaned coins in a presentation case.
