I’m always fascinated by people in Britain stumbling upon caches of coins and artifacts.

All I ever stumbled upon were piles of arrowhead chippings...lol

Yeah, it’s easy to feel some envy. OTOH, as I watch my way through years of Time Team episodes on YouTube, I also wonder why anything is left standing in Britain, considering the historically significant stuff that’s been demolished all lah-dee-dah like.

Well, there’s always meteor shards....

You are lucky. The only thing i stumble on is my feet.

Any discovered historic item becomes Brit property...

I hear you. My house is built on the rocky end of a ridge. Indians must have used the site as a hunting camp. It is littered with flint and obsidian flakes. Sometimes I find field-expedient blades.
