There is a lot of really old stuff in the ground in what is now Great Britain.
It is frequently unearthed.
This unearthing is expected to continue for quite a long time.

You’re among friends — did you dig them up and not tell him? ;’)

"did you dig them up and not tell him?" No, I was just a small kid then (born in'36). I didn't mention that a highway runs through part of that property now. Perhaps during construction of that road some worker struck it rich.

If so, it will be a great find 2K years from now. None of those coins in that day were silver clad copper.

Nice find!
I wish I brought my detector to Italy.
Oh well...
To: DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis
Promises, promises.
At least no one has found my hoard of 4th century B.C. Greek drachmas....

For that matter, I doubt anybody will find my jugs full of ancient Hebrew shekels, my buried gold Aztec head peices, my 15 chests of Spanish gold doubloons, or my cave full of jeweled bracelets from Atlantis.

Britain in the 3rd Century was one long string of rebellions, mutinies, barbarian attacks, the withdrawal and return of legions and so on. People were constantly abandoning places to run for their lives.

Thanks Godebert. Were these a hoard you found, or was it one of those cleaning projects I’ve seen on the web? That’s another thing that has beguiled me, carefully “excavating” coins from a block of 1000+ years of accumulated crud.
