There have been a number of finds recently, mostly gold, mostly “medallion” size pieces all in immaculate condition. It’s enough to make an old coin collector suspicious.
There’s been doubt about a number of the unremarkable finds in eastern Europe as well — the someone commonplace (and usually in poor condition) Roman and Byz. bronzes emerging from their long hiding due to the proliferation of good metal detection equipment in the former Warsaw Pact. But no one wants to spend days or weeks busting ‘em out and NOT find any silver or gold surprises. Used to be legit uncleaned masses of coins (and lost of dirt and whatnot) could be had for fairly little money on eBay etc.
