Hundreds of the coins – buried in a gigantic clay jar and weighing as much as two men – bear the image of Carausius. The discovery was made by hospital chef Dave Crisp using a metal detector. The 63-year-old unearthed 21 of the coins on a farm near Frome in Somerset before realising the find was so significant expert help was needed. He called in archaeologists who set about the delicate task of excavating the site. The hoard was then taken to the British Museum to be cleaned up and recorded.
