Abstract
The article focuses on the discovery by metal detectorists led by Neil Mahrer of a gargantuan coin hoard in the British Channel Islands in 2012. Topics covered include the challenge faced in getting the hoard out of the ground, the recommendations received for removing the corrosion from the coins and for cleaning the gold jewelry embedded along the coins and the association of majority of the coins with the Celtic tribe Coriosolites.
