[FASTLARRY]

How about finding 5 million in your field, now thats lucky.

You are brits conqurered by the Romans, and you have not been paying your taxes, or refuse to do so, or give them some bull shit hard luck story about being broke, so when the tax collector goes back, they bust out a couple hundred heavily armored men and march in. They can hear them and see the dust from 10 miles away, so they grab all of their loot, put it in a bar jar and bury it, to dig it up later after the wops are gone. The Centurian arrives, gets the bull shit story they have no dinero, and knows if he goes back empty handed, they will ship his ass off to the ass hole of the empire, Jersolumn, and he will never come home again, so he goes ape and kills every one in the village, except a few young virgins which he takes for his slaves and play things. They burn the joint off of the map. Nobody is left, to dig up the loot. There it sits for 2,000 years.

If that was me, I would have grabbed the jar and booked it out of the country, sold the lot over here to dealers and what I could not move, I would dump the rest on ebay. They might take it all from him, or tie him up for years, or eat it all up in taxes, any hu, bet on this guy getting triple fooked over being honest about it all.

Several stashes like this have been found.

That is probably how it happened.
