Gold coins found in Netherlands from last days of Roman Empire

This story reminds me of my Uncle, who is one of those end of the world preper type people who has been convinced for the last 30 years that we are on the brink of some sort of collapse. So he bought a bunch of gold and buried somewhere it out on the farm where he lives. He has not told anyone where including his own kids because he doesn't trust anyone. I am guessing his heirs will be out there with metal locators when he passes because I don't think he will ever tell anyone where it is. He is mum about how much gold but the speculation by the family is that it has to be pretty significant just based on his net worth. If they don't find it, maybe someday archeologists will dig up a big box full of krugerrands.

>archaeologists suspect the Middle Bronze Age tomb, perhaps on what was then a hill, was used in the 5th century as a handy place marker for the hoard.

This is like a mix of that scene in Fargo (movie version) and the season finale of Breaking Bad where the drug dealer is about to bribe Walter with the location of the remaining cash. Fascinating.

Curious what these coins are worth and if the finders were compensated.

>The modern finders of the gold coins and the landowner have given the solidi on permanent loan to the Museum Valkhof in Nijmegen, which contains the largest collection of Roman finds in the Netherlands, where they are now on display, together again for the first time in decades, maybe even centuries.<

its really interesting the things you find, even in open fields. usually useless iron and sometimes old guns.

once i found what looks a Smith & Wesson Model 1 - its mostly rust so hard to tell. it was in the cocked position, so I couldnt help but wonder if there was a story behind it.

Unfortunately, no gold coins =( that'd be an ultimate find
