A metal detectorist says he unearthed up to 15,000 Roman coins in two clay pots in north Wales — a haul experts think could be the nation’s largest. David Moss, 36, from Cheshire, described “goosebumps” at the find and, fearing theft, slept with the coins in his car for three days before delivering them to National Museum Cardiff. The museum will analyze and date the hoard, with an assessment expected next year. Numismatist Anthony Halse believes the cache may be the biggest in Wales and possibly tied to Roman military wealth.
