Just found a Roman coin in my backyard last weekend, never used a metal detector before
I was digging a hole for a new fence post near Columbus and hit something hard with the shovel, turned out to be a 3rd century bronze coin. Has anyone else had random luck like that without actually looking for stuff?

Oh wow, that's wild! Finding a Roman coin just digging a fence post is crazy luck. I've been out with a detector maybe a dozen times and only found pull tabs and rusty nails so far. You should get one now that you know there's old stuff around, might be more coins or even some Roman brooches in that spot.
