<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YOC, post: 1835922, member: 58941&quot;]I agree, the positive side to our collecting is the detailed collective &#039;catalogue&#039; which now exists due to our attribution and photograhy.</p><p>As far as them rotting in the ground...they have done a pretty good job in the past 2000 years, so i doubt a few more will hurt.&nbsp; On that point though, and contradicting myself,, with the increased use of fertilisers on arable land the coins are becoming badly damaged in the ground, much more so than on unfarmed land.&nbsp; I find this with detecting...the worst coins are found on land owned by farmers who put chicken or duck muck on their fields. If i find a Roman in a paddock or grassland then its generally very nice as it hasnt been a) chucked about with the plough and b) rotted by the fertiliser. </p><p>Luckily with most of my coin sales and finds I can say where the coin was found to about a metre accuracy due to GPS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
