A disadvantage to living in California.
No 1000-year old coin hoards.
However, dreams of Spanish treasure abound.

Oh, but our recent run of uninterrupted days of liquid sunshine more than makes up for the disadvantages.
Working in a coin shop in the 80s, I would hear about finds of Spanish treasure (no one ever brought in an actual find, they just knew someone who knew someone). As an archaeologist, I saw only two coins from digs referred to me for identification. Spanish (Mexican mints) yes, but hardly "treasure."
Here in Britain, we are awaiting a plunge in the cost of Anglo-Saxon coins - I don't think!
