Near Frome, in Somerset, England, a guy named Dave Crisp, armed with a metal detector, found a large jar containing over 50,000 Roman coins buried about a foot deep. Archaeologists believe the jar was buried somewhere around the year 300 A.D.
What a cool find!
I don't know exactly where Dave Crisp made his find, but I have visited the town of Frome a couple of times. It's along the path of one of my favorite drives in England, between Salisbury (where Stonehenge is) and Exmoor National Park, on the way down to Cornwall...
