'In April 2021 it was located and rescued through a small emergency archaeological intervention financed by the Ministry of Culture of the Principality of Asturias, which up to now constitutes the largest Roman cave treasure in northern Spain,' they said.

This is a sad story. The enterprising badger had the coins “rescued” away by weasels

never never reveal where they came from...

shoot. shovel. shut up.

melt the gold down...

make one ounce coins with your face on it... call it what you want...sell it for cash.

200 coins, 100 ounces at 1200 an ounce... 120,000 bucks...

From the article:
Although no badger was seen, the leading hypothesis is that Storm Filomena, which deposited snow across the Iberian Peninsula in January 2021, ramped up the creature's search for food, El País newspaper reports. This hypothesis is largely due to the fact the collection was found mere feet away from a badger's burrow.
OMG it was the Fearsome Spanish INVISIBLE BADGER!!

Did the badger also find the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch along with the coins from Antioch?

Those badgers can now hire themselves out as treasure hunters - or maybe kept the treasure for themselves and away from greedy humans!

Every time a hidden hoard of coins is found, I wonder what happened to the person who hid them, and why they could not come back to dig them up.

Now the problem is finding someone who is willing to reach in and take the coins away from the badger.
