Coins dating back more than 2,000 years are found in an Anglesey field and declared treasure.
Mr Roberts, along with friend Peter Cockton, discovered five coins in total and the remaining 10 were found by Tim Watson - all scattered across the corner of a field."We just sat on the spot, had a coffee and imagined what our surroundings and people's lives were like over 2,000 years ago," said Mr Roberts.
Gwynedd Archaeological Trust visited the site in September 2021, seeking clues as to why the coins were buried. The coins were struck between 60 BC and 20 BC at three different mints across what is now Lincolnshire.
