albert smith 803 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Quite a few years back I was taking a stroll across Beachy Head, the path had worn away the turf through to the chalk beneath, I had taken several paces before i realised that one of the chalk fragments was too round to be natural. Retracing my steps I picked it up and on feeling the weight I almost went on my knees 50 yds. in both directions but only found the one. On visiting the castle Museum I was told it was a Roman Penny and collected by the bucketful on most Roman sites, it would be a very heavy bucket if they're this weight ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,134 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Was the coin of any value Albert? Or perhaps you couldn't give up work after all. I live not too far from Beachy Head and I've never found bugger all .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
