"Beginner's Luck Digs Up Roman Silver Treasure
The Times, 11.41 a.m. ET (1641 GMT) November 13, 1999
A farmer's son has stumbled across the largest hoard of early Roman coins
ever discovered in Britain just two minutes after being shown how to work a
metal detector.
The first of some 9,377 silver denarii glistened in the soil as Kevin
Elliott, began scanning his father's dairy farm at Shapwick, Somerset. A
signal went off just after he had been persuaded to have a go by his cousin
with a spare detector.
Martin Elliott is a self-employed welder who, since he was a boy, has been
metal-detecting at every spare moment. He had searched throughout southern
England and, although his own finds were never more than buckles and
buttons, he never gave up hope. As their pockets began to overflow after
their find, the pair went looking for buckets, eventually weighing the hoard
on their bathroom scales.
The hoard, which had been only a foot below the surface, was yesterday
declared treasure at an inquest by Michael Rose, the Somerset coroner. Now
the cousins, both aged 33, stand to make hundreds of thousands of pounds
from the sale of the haul. Within months, it will be formally valued.
Experts described the collection as three times the size of the previous
largest find. The coins were eventually transported to the British Museum,
where they have remained for cleaning and study.
The Elliotts had no reason to suppose there was anything to be found under
the land, which was planted with corn and had been ploughed many times.
Kevin's father Graham, 62, said the family had been farming the land as
tenants for 36 years until they bought it in January last year. They were
simply trying out the detectors.
Martin Elliott, whose own father built him his first detector from a design
in a magazine, said: "The odds of finding something like this in such a
short space of time are phenomenal, mind-boggling." He used to devote every
possible moment to metal-detectoring: "I'd even skive off work sometimes. I
loved it so much".
Steve Minnitt of the Somerset County Museums, which hopes to raise the funds
to purchase the collection, praised the finders for acting in "a thoroughly
responsible manner". He added: "Not only have they unearthed an extremely
important coin hoard, but by co-operating with archaeologists their find has
led to the discovery and investigation of a previously-unknown and important
Roman site."
Jonathan Williams, the British Museum's curator of Roman coins, said they
would have wanted it: "It is a very desirable hoard." But there is a policy
of keeping treasure in public collections near the actual site.
Excavations by archaeologists revealed that the coins had been buried in the
corner of a room of a stone building. Paul Linford of English Heritage's
Ancient Monuments Laboratory has identified "the presence of a major complex
of Roman buildings". The room in which the hoard had been buried was part of
a courtyard villa of "considerable size".
The coins date from between the time of Mark Antony (31 B.C.) and the
Emperor Severus Alexander (AD 222-235). "They represent a considerable
amount of money", said Richard Abdy of the British Museum.
"The coins were buried in about AD 230 and were the equivalent to about ten
years' pay for a legionary soldier in the Roman Army. It is not known who
originally owned the coins or why they were never retrieved."

Salvete,
As many of you know, I fractured my ankle 3 weeks ago, at Warner Brothers
by tripping over an executive in charge of production and falling down a
flight of stairs.
Then I compounded the problem by attending the Erotica Awards' costume
ball at Universal Hilton several days later, Halloween night (I had already
paid for tickets and was not about to miss all those divine unclad female
forms).
I had to have the bone reset and a recast applied that next Monday!
(Don't ask!)
So I saw the doctor for my followup Friday and here are the results:
My simple fracture healing nicely. I can get off crutches by Thanksgiving.
That means I'll be totally ambulatory by Dec. 12, or the 18. That's the time
of that West Coast NR members trip to the Pompeii exhibit. I'll have to know
how many of you plan to come so I can make reservations. Both days are
Sundays. Sunday is less crowded than Saturdays. Weekdays are out, except
among the LA locals, because of travel time. It takes roughly 4 hours to
"do" the exhibit. (And if I make a speech even longer.)
I would like to take this time to thank all of you that wrote me private
and public messages expressing your best wishes on my speedy recovery.
As many of you know I'm the publicity director at Drum Barracks ACW
Museum in Wilmington, CA near San Pedro. The weekend just before
Thanksgiving of every year the Museum, in conjunction with The Nixon Library
in Loma Linda CA, puts on a large ACW event at the Library. This includes
displays, reenactors, dioramas and a battle recreation in miniature. Guess
who does most of the preproduction on this?
So this why I haven't been able to respond in a timely manner to most of
the e-mails sent to me. I beg your forgiveness and hope you all understand.
More info later...

Ave, Q. Fabius Curule Aedile.
Let me just extend you more good wishes on your speedy, and sound,
recovery.
Going to the costume ball makes sense to me.
Maybe you can use a period crutch during your lecture at the barracks.
Take care of your self (within established parameters of value
judgment).
Bene Vale.

LOL!! Now where on earth did you ever come up with a qualification like
this? Are you an attorney or were you perhaps a composer of ancient Roman
prayers in a previous life?
Thanks for my smile of the day. :-)
