As usual I spend half my life searching the net for Metal Detecting related articles. Here is one that I found about a Roman Day Del Boy - thought it might interest a few of you:-)
Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of a Roman Del Boy who made a nice little earner selling bogus coins to foreign invaders.
Metal detecting enthusiasts examining farmland in Northumberland, found a hoard of 70 Roman coins dating back to the time before Hadrian built his wall.
Experts from Newcastle University, who examined the coins, discovered native Northumbrians had been melting them down to turn into trinkets.
