Considering the romans are supposed to have been so clever, how come they were always losing coins and jewellery all over the place. If they were that smart you'd think one of them would have invented a decent zip pocket.
I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.
Not only them Steve but ya find coins n stuff that av bin dropped right throughout history. Used to av a field day back in South Yorkshire on the estate where I used ta hurdy gurdy regularly. Every July they hold a country show, sheep dog trials n countryfied stuff. Allus held on a Sunday, so used to meander down to do a recce, check where the beer tent, ice cream van an stalls fer the bin lids were sited.
Monday everything cleared away n gone, just the bo peep grazing n me we mi hurdy gurdy. Regular tekkins in dropped coins about 60 quid, n dint even av ta dig fer the f.cker!
Its probably awash with treasure hunters Bob.
Besides, the land is being eroded and claimed back to the sea.

Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett believe that King John did not use that crossing and used another route. They believe there was a conspiracy to murder the king who mysteriously died a few days after this so called event took place. They believe the story of the loss of the treasure in the wash was a cover up invented to cover up the real crime that had been committed. The treasure simply disappeared after it was probably shared out amongst those that took part in this event. The strange thing is that despite many well equipped treasure hunts not one single iron wheel or anything else has ever been recovered even over reclaimed land. I tend to go along with their theories after all they research things pretty well and wasn't on their list of would be treasure hunts. Incidentally one of the reasons for their treasure hunts was not really for financial gain but only to get something tangible that could prove everything they wrote is correct historically. The only tangible item that was found was a cross bearing king Arthur's name at a organised dig under the control of Eric Talbot a recognised Archaeologist at the church they own in Wales. That cross was instantly declared to be a fraud made of lead and cast on their kitchen stove by the academics. They offered it to Cardiff museum for metallurgical testing which was refused and they were told to they could keep it and still have it in their possession. Years later this cross was analysed by specialists and found to contain at least 80 per cent pure silver and other metals. Had this been found in any other country in the world it would of been headline news around the World. No so in Wales because the English would like you to believe it was a principality because of a Royal Son Charles. Wales was a kingdom and had been for centuries until the Saxons were able to walk in following the devastation that happened in AD 562. The story of the wash is just another attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the public like what happened to Edward the seconds treasure. That mysteriously disappeared too when he was on the run and nothing has ever been found of that either. Edward met a very untimely and painful end too that very few know about. It was reported that he was a homosexual (gay) is what you might call him today. Being a King they couldn't not just kill him as that would leave marks. So they used a red hot poker and shoved it up his anus which would of been an excruciatingly painfull way to end ones life and no visible marks on the exterior body would be seen. Charles the first was beheaded and the country was broke following years of civil war so Cromwell sold off the crown jewels to France/ Cromwell didn't last long after that himself and suffered a similar fate... just a few interesting topics about Royal treasures.
