This one is gold Roman coins only? Or are they not revealing the details yet? I'm not sure I can find it as interesting as the Anglo Saxon hoard if it's coins (am I being a philistine). But how freaky would it be if it were actually near where the legend said it was. Or maybe Bredon Hill is perfectly specific enough. I mean a huge load of gold coins.. could rumour really have stuck about for 2000 years? It would be pretty neat if it had. Everyone likes a good story do they not.

(I know this totally overlooks the Issues of Metal Detecting. But maybe it's nice for you to think about the story from another angle for a bit. A non blood-pressure-raising angle. I suppose we have to wonder whether detector-wielders might prefer to look in places where Rumours of Treasure exist already though. Hmmmm.)

The story has been embroidered by the press apparently - gold dipped not gold and worth thousands not millions. Still. Press conference Friday.

There's supposed to be Treasure under lots of ancient sites as you know. VBB would no doubt rap them all if not stopped.

"I suppose we have to wonder whether detector-wielders might prefer to look in places where Rumours of Treasure exist already though."

Yeah, I guess it's human nature to maximise your chances by research so if it has archaeology or Treasure Rumours it's going to get done. Using TMA is part of the Research - in fact I picked up your quote not from here but from a detecting forum where it had been pasted. I guess that makes you an accessory. ;)
