JERSEY, UNITED KINGDOM, JUNE 26, 2012:
Two metal detector enthusiasts have uncovered Europe’s largest hoards of Iron Age coins worth up to GBP10 million – after searching for more than 30 YEARS. Refer to SWNS story SWCOINS. Determined Reg Mead and Richard Miles spent decades searching a field in Jersey after hearing rumours that a farmer had discovered silver coins while working on his land. They eventually struck gold and uncovered between 30,000 and 50,000 coins, which date from the 1st Century BC and have lain buried for 2,000 years. The Roman and Celtic silver and gold coins were entombed under a hedge in a large mound of clay, weighing three quarters of a ton and measuring 140 x 80 x 20cm. Experts predict they are of Armorican (corr) origin – modern day Brittany and Normandy – from a tribe called the Coriosolitae (corr) who were based in the modern-day area of St Malo and Dinan. They have dated the coins from 50BC, the Late Iron Age, and believe they would have been buried underground to be kept safe from Julius Caesar’s campaigns.
