Coin hoard declared treasure!!

Another Hoard for my archives.

The largest hoard of Iron Age gold and silver coins ever found in Britain has been officially declared treasure.
More than 3,000 coins were found by a group of amateur archaeologists while out walking near Market Harborough, Leicestershire, nearly three years ago.

The find, which pre-dates the Roman invasion of 43 AD also includes a Roman cavalry helmet, suggesting the original owner may have travelled to the continent.
