2 published discoveries from Germany — coins, hoards, jewellery and artefacts recovered by detectorists and archaeologists.
A volunteer detectorist near Cologne kept getting signals, and the result is 934 Roman silver coins, the largest coin hoard from the time of Hadrian ever found in Germany.
Archaeologists excavating a former sports field in Singen, Thuringia uncovered a complete hoard of 11 Celtic silver quinarii, deliberately buried in the 1st century BC and later scattered by centuries of ploughing. Although the original container has decayed, careful documentation showed the coins were deposited together, making this the largest Prague‑type quinarius hoard ever found in Thuringia and a rare “closed find” whose owner never returned. The discovery strengthens evidence of Celtic activity and trade routes between production centres near Gotha and major settlements in southern Thuringia, while additional unrelated finds—from a Roman denarius to medieval beads and a Prussian uniform button—reveal the site’s long, layered history.
