Man with metal detector found coins from Roman times

In the small village of Kelshall, located between London and Cambridge, in 2015, a man, while exploring the earth with a metal detector, found a unique specimen: a very well-preserved tomb from Roman times, in which unique artefacts were found – including bronze jugs, coins, mosaic pieces and studs from a pair of shoes.

One of the coins shows Trajan, while the other probably served as payment to Charon. The finds date back to around 200 CE. The tomb (1.9 x 1.6 meters) probably belonged to a wealthy inhabitant. Scientists investigating the area also found remains of a nearby building, probably a sanctuary or temple.
