Very interesting!

“Because of where the coins were found—an empty cave and hidden under a large rock—Eshel says they tell a story: “It appears the people first hid their money before fleeing to caves farther in.” The monetary value of the coins was high enough to buy a house. He assumes the money was abandoned in the cave because it was useless in the barren desert.”

Thanks for the picture too!!!!

It was either that, or get the “useless without pics” complaints. ;’)
