Shoutout to the volunteer who spotted the Roman coin in the rain at the York dig yesterday, saving my soggy afternoon

I was about to pack up when a student flagged a tiny silver denarius in the mud, which totally turned around a day where my main trench had just collapsed into a water-filled mess.

What's so great about a soggy coin anyway?

Honestly felt that, soggy coins are the worst. Pulling one out of a pocket after rain just feels nasty and wrong. They never work in vending machines either, total waste of a dollar. Just a sad, damp little piece of metal.
