'Unbelievable' hoard of 29 Roman coins found by metal detectorists

TWO metal detectorists are celebrating after finding an “unbelievable” hoard of 29 silver Roman coins on Anglesey - five months after unearthing another “amazing” collection of 400 Medieval coins in another part of the island.
Chris Evans, 47, and James Fraser, 53, discovered the 29 scattered coins in a field in the south of the island two weeks ago after they may have been disturbed during ploughing.
Chris said: “James found a silver coin and we hit a little area (and found more).”
It is a scattered hoard and some are broken - possibly by the plough.
They are in a 10-metre square area of land which is stony so they hadn’t sunk into the ground and were quite near the surface.
