<p>[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 748657, member: 8959"]It was quite unspectacular really. I found these along a footpath in a forest where 10-12 years ago I had already found a Vitellius denarius. People go there for a walk on the weekends, ride their bikes, or walk their dogs, as the area is densily populated and the woods is surrounded by villages. I always thought it was incredible that this footpath had already existed 2000 years ago. On this day I decided to search more the shoulder of the footpath before going home as it was raining like hell. And lo and behold, I soon started getting signals one after the other. Not more than 5-10 cm deep I found these 5 - all within a few feet of each other. My guess is they could have been dropped by a passing rider. Of course I searched the entire area, but there were no more to be found. I wish every outing was like this!...this was really a stroke of luck, and the overall condition of the coins is good, if not exceptional. The Domitian has a very nice bust.</p><p>Here are pictures of the coins as they came out of the earth:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
