chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4973 Posts	Posted 01/15/2015 2:39 pm that's pretty awesome...those coins look amazing, like they were struck last week. what's the significance of the lead parcel? early in the article the writer said they found lead, which suggested there were more goodies to come. was it common for people of the period to bury coins or things in lead containers or something?
