That week I found a roman coin in my own backyard...
Last spring I was digging a post hole for a bird feeder and hit something hard about 8 inches down. Pulled out this little bronze disc covered in dirt, rinsed it off, and saw a guy in a toga on one side. My buddy at the county museum said it was a 3rd century Roman coin, probably lost by some trader passing through. Has anyone else ever stumbled on something like that just going about your day, not even looking?

Yeah that's wild, I found a 1940s wheat penny in my driveway once but a Roman coin is next level. Makes you wonder what else is buried right under our feet that we walk over every day.

Actually wheat pennies started in 1909, not the 1940s.
