A Detectorist
Kevin Minto who is one of the team’s detectorists was alongside Massey when a year ago they discovered an unexpected treasure. “I hit two Roman coins, then one to the left, right and above…then 18 and within 20 mins we were in the 50s,” said Minto.
Findings
The coins were not the only thing that this group found a year ago. It was just one of the things that Massey’s group had found. Apart from that ancient Roman hoard, The group also discovered a rare Roman lead coffin.
Revisiting
Now it was time to go back to the same site a year later to find out what other treasures remain buried underground. They believed that the sites had many other things hidden beneath that ground, something of huge relevance, something important, something bigger.
Confusion All-Around
Massey was quite confused when they stopped after finding such a huge amount of treasure under that ground. He wanted everyone in his group to consider the fact that beneath that ground might be something that would be worth a fortune.
Persuading Everyone
Massey had to first get his friend Minto ready and excited to search for more on that ground. Once, he got Minto ready it was easy to get the rest of the crew ready and excited. It wasn’t an easy task for him but he trusted his gut feeling that something is hidden in that place.
Elated
Once he got the whole crew ready and rolling, Massey was one of the happiest people to go to the site and start excavation and find some other artifacts. One of Massey’s tweet was:
“Only 3 weeks to go until we return to the farm we found a Roman Hoard and Rare Roman lead coffin.”
