A hungry badger is thought to have unearthed the largest collection of Roman coins ever to have been discovered in northern Spain.
The treasure trove was discovered close to the den of an animal in the municipality of Grado, Asturias.
In a desperate attempt to find some food, it is thought that the animal – which researchers believe could be a badger – inserted its legs into a small crack opening next to its refuge.
But it found no use for the old coins and abandoned some of the pieces in front of its den.
The 209 pieces were then found by two archaeologists when they went to visit the cave of La Cuesta with a local resident, according to a report recently published in an archaeological journal.
Goodger
>But for now, only the badger knows whether there is more treasure to find.
Basically what you’re saying is we need to strap a go pro to it.
MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!!!!
Finders, keepers. All that gold, Mr Badger will never know hunger again.
