Rare ancient Roman treasure unearthed by metal detectorists in Poland

Metal detectorists in Poland helped discover a large cache of ancient Roman coins, Polish officials announced. 

The “Group of Explorers” regularly search for metal artifacts and treasures, according to a social media post Friday from the Lublin Voivodeship Conservator of Monuments. The group, led by Janusz Szabat and Piotr Magoch, began a search of the fields surrounding the small town of Księżopol. 

In a very small area – less than a fifth of a square mile – the searchers found “a very large number of metal archaeological monuments,” the conservator said.
