[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1835300, member: 26302"]Not trying to be defensive, but those who make such arguments prove they know nothing about ancient coins or archeology. Put it this way. Say there are no banks. You wish to bury your savings today for safe keeping. Are you going to go and bury it at a very visible, public site like the local football stadium, or are you going to choose someplace very close by that only you know about, like maybe in your backyard under the rose bush? Common misunderstanding amongst those who do not know how ancient coins are not like other ancient objects. I am completely and utterly against looting of archeological sites. There is never an excuse for that, and honestly do not collect artifacts partly as a result.
