<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YOC, post: 1836062, member: 58941&quot;]Coin hoards are generally found near settlement, settlements are detected for the coins and the artefacts. Settlements are important archaeological sites.&nbsp; These relic hunters and looters target the areas which used to be densely polulated as much as remote temple sites etc. because that is where people were dropping and burying things.&nbsp; These people do their research as well as any archaeologist before they choose a field to sweep, and they are after coins and artefacts.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you read articles on detecting in serbia and other countries it all goes on in and around town sites, which had their temples and their baths etc., but mostly just lots of houses and commercial buildings.&nbsp; That is where our coins come from.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is not possible to classify these looters as two groups, the artefact hunters and the coin hunters.&nbsp; They are all in it for what they can get.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
