I love this treasure stuff.A few years ago some guy in England found a hoarde of Roman coins with a metal detector.England purchased the coins,i assume for a museum.

Thanks. There's a link off off the BBC story to a hoard of 20,000 (!) coins, perhaps that's the one you'd read about (2004).

Yeah, but I think that one had a bunch of gold coins and some silver plate.
