Roman Coin Hoard Found in England Sells at Auction
A hoard of Roman coins discovered by a metal detectorist scouring farmland has fetched more than £15,000 after going under the hammer.
More than 430 coins were found buried in the village of Colkirk, near Fakenham, Norfolk.
A collection of 73 pieces, including an extremely rare coin featuring a phoenix on a globe, was auctioned in London.
The anonymous finder had shown "perseverance", said coin specialist Nigel Mills, from Noonans auctioneers.
"Some of the people I've spoken to recently, who have found some amazing finds, are spending a lot of time detecting - hours and hours - and they don't give up," he said.
"They keep going and that's the secret in so many things - don't give up, keep looking."
The Colkirk hoard, believed to date back to the early 5th Century, was spread out across a third of an acre on arable farmland, although the majority of finds were discovered in a 1.5m (59in) radius.
It was a lucky find for the detectorist, who had no idea the soil held such treasures.
They were out searching a field in January 2020 when they spotted a silver coin, which they recognised as a siliqua - a small, thin Roman coin.
It sparked a haul of 40 coins that day, with a further 40 found on the following one.
Covid lockdowns meant searches became more sporadic, but each discovery was logged with a portable GPS unit to accurately pinpoint the hoard's distribution.
In all, 315 coins were found in 2020, 114 in 2021 and three in 2022.
Some of the coins had been damaged, while others were fragmented due to farming processes.
A commemorative Third Miliarensis coin issued by Emperor Theodosius, decorated with a phoenix on one side, was only the fifth one of its type known to exist, with all the others in museums.
It reached £3,400 at the sale in Mayfair.
Mr Mills said: "The hoard had [been] spread out over a third of an acre through disturbance by ploughing and has been recorded under the Treasure Act.
"The hoard is likely to have been deposited at the beginning of the 5th Century AD, with the latest coin of Honorius dating no later than 402 AD.
"Other Roman treasure finds of gold and silver also from East Anglia, such as the Hoxne and Thetford hoards, reflect the wealth and importance of the area."

Beach Detecting 101: Secrets of the Sand
🏖️
Ever wondered why some detectorists always seem to strike gold (literally!) on the beach? Here's a little secret from our team at Detectors Haven: it's all about timing and technique!
Best time to detect:
Low tide - more exposed sand means more potential finds
After a storm - rough seas can uncover hidden treasures
Off-season - fewer people = less competition and more undisturbed sand
Pro tip: Don't just sweep the dry sand! The "wet sand zone" where waves break is often a goldmine for lost jewelry.
Our founder, Sarah, recalls her best beach find: "I was about to call it a day when my detector gave a strong signal in the wet sand. After a careful dig, out came a stunning 18k gold ring with three diamonds. Always check that wet sand, folks!"
Remember to: ✅ Check local regulations ✅ Respect other beachgoers ✅ Fill in your holes ✅ Dispose of trash you find
What's your best beach detecting story? Share in the notes!
