Neal Baker, writing for The Sun, reports on 54 replica aureii unearthed by a pair of metal detectorists in a field in Suffolk England. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5456947/detectorists-bbc-treasure-hunters-roman-gold-suffolk/ Apparently these were props used for the BBC series The Detectorists. "In a scene that featured in the first episode of the last series, the replica coins were shown being buried in a clay Roman pot and then brought to the surface by a tractor ploughing a field 2,000 years later." Has anyone seen this show? I had not heard of it. It is apparently on Netflix. Post your movie props, replicas, or anything that has taken you "from Nero to zero".
I started to watch this series and the first few episodes were fairly amusing, but then it seemed to deteriorate into a quasi soap opera. I gave up on it.
Stumbled across the show, started to watch and became disenchanted, but finished it and overall really enjoyed it...have seen talk about a third season.
Has anyone been watching "Oak Island" series. Talk about boring, it just drags on and on and on. They have found a few surface coins but all of the money they are spending looking for the real stash?
Tell me about it. When I was a kid I watched the show "In Search of" hosted by Leonard Nimoy. They did a story on Oak Island (the episode is on Youtube) and I always wondered what happened. I was so disappointed in the new show. Crazy theories about Knights Templar's and the Ark of the Covenant. Terrible. I stopped watching.
Heading to every commercial break “this is it! We’ve found the big one!”. Upon return “oh look at this old door hinge we dug up. Probably the same door hinge used by Magellan.”
They have found more with a metal detector than all the digging and sluice. And they had to hire a metal detector specialist? They should have hired @paddyman98 . He would have found more by now than them. Sheesh.
Hey @Ed Snible .. I saw you at the NYINC show a few weeks ago. You were moving around so fast I couldn't get a chance to say hello!
