Digger driver wins share of 3,339 Roman coins he found
#1
Quote:A JCB driver who dug up 3,000 rare Roman coins which he put in a carrier bag will be able to keep the cash despite colleagues claiming it was a team find.

Mark Copsey, 44, was levelling a recreation ground for a hockey pitch when he spotted something in the soil.


He declared the find to be treasure under the Treasure Act and Mr Copsey will now be entitled to a third of their worth.
