Talking with a friend today, he told me of some old coins found in a
garden
somewhere, apparently one was dated 43 BC and could be worth quite a bit.
What is the best, most valuable/interesting you have found in your garden?

I feel sure some members of this newsgroup/forum would just HAVE to go one
better than that, 42BC ? ;-)


I found half a crown, also a flint arrowhead. Dunno how old it is.
But pre-Roman. Whoever lost that arrowhead must have been pretty
****ed off. Days of work I should think making it.

BCE I though it was now to please our raghead friends in the BBC?

Half a crown!!! I know of someone who got into a rage over a lost penny, how
would he feel losing 30 times that much ? ;-)
