An even bigger thrill is finding an ancient coin because the connection with the last person who touched it - maybe a legionary or a merchant - is then even greater.&nbsp; I have found some coins which can only be recognized as coins due to their shape and size (so badly are they corroded), but because I found them to me they are priceless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
