 In 2012, Carrington, a beginner metal detectorist, decided to try out his new metal detector in a field near St. Albans, Hertfordshire. 

Within 20 minutes he stumbled upon a cache of 55 #Gold Solidus coins dating back to the Roman Empire worth 100k.

Try that with #Bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/f6d9d213f7966d8bd465709ac54b0bc3bf10ed3046d63e8d445d410e09627733.jpg  
 He should of sold them and bought #Bitcoin 
 It’s like booting up a single miner and find the next block instantly ☺️ 
 And if he kept it those roughly 84 ounces it would be close to $200k not bad for an honest days work and hodling but for holding 12 years, not great 
 I learned that this morning
