Cache of Celtic Coins Uncovered in Dutch Cornfield

Quote:

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — A hobbyist with a metal detector struck both gold and silver when he uncovered an important cache of ancient Celtic coins in a cornfield in the southern Dutch city of Maastricht. "It's exciting, like a little boy's dream," Paul Curfs, 47, said Thursday after the spectacular find was made public. Archaeologists say the trove of 39 gold and 70 silver coins was minted in the middle of the first century B.C. as the future Roman ruler Julius Caesar led a campaign against Celtic tribes in the area.

WiseOne's Comments, wow...pretty cool find! Now that would be sweet to find something like that after alll those years! I am also surprised someone in the Netherlands was doing something other than spamming as well! I wish they had pictures of the coins though.
