Major Roman treasure hoard recovered after detectorist kept it secret for years

A hoard of hundreds of Roman-era silver coins and precious metals was recovered in northern Germany — years after it went unreported to authorities.

The find was announced by the Lower Saxony State Office for the Preservation of Monuments (NLD) in October. It was found near Borsum, in the district of Hildesheim.

The hoard consisted of 450 silver coins, bars of silver, a gold ring and a gold coin.
