This would make me dig up my back yard
Front yard, the neighbor's yard, the street....About 50,000 silver and bronze coins uncovered by men who spent decades exploring one field

I think I would like one of these for Christmas
Then I need to move to Britain:
ALDBOROUGH, England, Nov. 23 The skeleton of an ancient Roman Briton apparently with some social standing was found by two men who previously unearthed a $2 million Viking treasure.
Using metal detectors, the father-son duo, David and Andrew Whelan, discovered the 1,800-year-old skeleton buried in a lead-lined coffin near the Roman town of Aldborough, The Daily Telegraph reported Friday.
After uncovering a part of the coffin, the Whelans called professional archaeologists to take over the dig.
They uncovered a Romano-British skeleton buried without decorations or jewelry between the second and fourth centuries, the newspaper said. The Roman empire lasted until the fifth century.
