1775: An Ancient Roman Coin Accumulation Was Discovered 250 Years, Or A Quarter Of A Millennium, Ago In Yorkshire

It is March 01, 2025.  This post may be of particular interest to coin collectors, numismatists and enthusiasts of Ancient Roman History.  On this day, 250 years ago, a quarter of a millennium ago, an accumulation of ancient Roman coins was discovered.  This publication, The Gentlemen's Magazine dated March 1775 and issued in early April 1775, provides the details.  Given the different periods included and the choice condition, could this have been compiled by a very early collector of coins?
