'It's a Detectorist's dream to find Roman coins'
Available for over a year
Roman coins found in Leicestershire are expected to raise up to £1,500 at an auction this month. David Dunn came across the coins when he was metal-detecting in a field in Sapcote in July 2023. Mr Dunn, who's 42 and has been metal detecting for two years, said he went to get the farmer and dug a further two feet (61cm) down where they found 50 coins. David told Âé¶¹Éç Leicester's Ady Dayman that he plans to donate the majority of the money to the farmer whose land the coins were found on.
