Metal Detectorist , Inspired by Indiana Jones, Found Roman Coins from 206 BC

I thought this was a great story , George Ridgway found a collection of 748 gold and silver coins estimated to date from as early as 206 BC

Inspired by Indiana Jones, he found roman coins using a metal detector that sold at auction for £132,865

What made me chuckle was the picture of him at 5 years of age dressed as Indiana Jones , who he says inspired his zest for adventure

He got his first metal detector for his birthday aged 12

He will split the proceeds between himself and the landowner where he found them

Oh, and he said he would buy his dad a pint

So he was no raider of the lost ark, but i doubt this will be his last crusade
