Stranger than that...ancient Roman coins were found in the early 1960s on the banks of the Ohio River when construction crews started digging to build a giant pier on the Indiana side of the river for what would eventually become the Sherman Minton Bridge that carrys I64 from Kentucky to Indiana. Coins were once displayed at the Falls of the Ohio museum in Clarksville Indiana.

Interesting, especially that the finder was never identified, and most of the coins are again lost again to the sands of time..

I think I may have a few like that in my horde somewhere ?

I remember hearing a story decades ago about an old Roman coin found on a beach in Maine.

Thanks, I'm sure I had come across information resembling that (and it's not the only such find, by a long shot) but it's nice to have specifics.
