In Somerset County, Britain
From AP :
Dave Crisp, a treasure hunter using a metal detector, located [52,500 Roman] coins in April [2010] in a field in southwestern England, according to the Somerset County Council and the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
The coins represent something which is "written down" (just like patents) and will aid in creating a true history of Roman Britain:
"This find presents us with an opportunity to put Carausius on the map. School children across the country have been studying Roman Britain for decades, but are never taught about Carausius our lost British emperor."
