Found a Roman coin in my backyard in Ohio last weekend
Was digging a hole for a fence post and hit something metal. Pulled out a small bronze coin from the 4th century, or so the local college professor told me after I brought it in. Anyone here ever find something random like that in a place where you wouldn't expect it?

Honestly that's wild. I found a 1920s soda bottle behind my grandma's shed once, still had the cork in it. Ngl I thought it was a bomb at first. Took it to a local antique shop and they said it was just trash, but it still felt like a little piece of history. Your coin is way cooler though, a Roman coin in Ohio is random as heck.

That's how it is sometimes with random finds, man. Best thing I did was ask a local expert instead of just assuming it was junk. Saved me from tossing something I'd regret.
