The extraordinary find of more than 3,000 coins was made in a field in east Leicestershire. *  Dating back 2,000 years, they are one of the first examples of Iron Age coin hoards to be seen in Britain. A group of local people who had joined an archaeological project run by Leicestershire County Council found a handful of coins while out walking in 2000.  Group member Mr Wallace returned with a metal detector and found hundreds of the coins, which date to between 1AD and 40AD.
