Treasure trove

A COLLECTION of more than 1,000 Roman coins found in farmland was officially declared treasure trove last night.

The 1,141 silver Denarii coins, the earliest dating from 206 - 195BC, were discovered in Stratford-upon-Avon, by Keith Bennett, 46, with a metal detector in July last year.
