  7. First Roman coin I found was when I was a kid walking across a ploughed field in Leicestershire looking for clay pipes while me brother was detecting,and I run over chuffed to bits with me find thinking it must be worth millions as it Roman ,he told me your holding a coin a Roman soldier carried and your the only one to hold it in hundreds of years and I was over the moon and that's what detecting is all about you never know what your going to find . I think you will find Roman stuff all over England right up to the Scottish borders it's a great hobby and a good way to get out and g
