May be worth removing a few details from the description. The use of Google Earth, an online topographical map, and common sense, and having seen the field in passing many times in person, about 97% of the field can be discounted immediately. Rod, if you find it necessary to remove this post then please do so, but i suggest some clever editing of the description that Chris put on here also.

What an amazing story. I live at Quebec city, Canada, and I am a Roman coins collector since 2005. In year 2006, I purchased a coin from Yorkoins (a Constantius II). I just was excited to know the place were my coin have been find. Since this time I used to know more about this Killingholme hoard. I had a correspondance with a guy from the Britidh Museum, and another one with the Lincolnshire Council. I can't estimate the number of times I have enter "Killingholme" in Google... but today is my day. I am writing, NOW, to the actuel detectorist... incredible. Over years, I have cover a modern map of the Killingholme area, with an another map showing Roman Britain. I wonder to know where the Roman who digged his coins were living, somewhere in year 334. Maybe Caistor, maybe not. Who know ? Some idea ? To help me more, is it possible to indicate me on the following map the exact place were the hoard have been found ? http://www.dialogus2.org/killingholme.jpg Great thanks Pierre – excuse my English, I’m French —

Although I reside in the US, I am glutton for Roman British history. Were I there, I would purchase a metal detector and drag it everywhere I went. Goodness knows how many hoards are waiting to be found. Congratulations on the find! Although I reside in the US, I am glutton for Roman British history.
