Metal detectorists recently found 282 Celtic coins in a farmer's field in Lincolnshire. This hoard is particularly interesting because the coins weren't Roman. Buried about a foot deep, they were of the Corieltauvi tribe, Celts who lived in Britain before the Roman conquest. Experts are still trying to determine when the hoard was buried.
