    Must have been quite an adrenaline rush. Looks like mostly Flavian silver?

    "More than 934 silver denarii, weighing 3.1 kilograms, were recovered. Although the hoard was buried during the reign of Hadrian (AD 117-138), most coins date to the Flavian emperors (AD 69-96) with the oldest coin minted in 148 BCE (in middle of picture below). The latest coin is AD 124/125."

    It is interesting to see the hoard span several centuries, including a Julius Caesar "elephant denarius" 49 BCE (upper right), a Marc Anthony legionary denarius AD 32-31 BCE (mid-left), and, center left, a Vespasian denarius AD 74-79.
