There are hoards discovered all the time in the Roman world. remember, unlike today there were no banks or safety deposit boxes one could deposit their wealth.
Unfortunately, many of these discovered hoards are not recorded and sold directly to the collector coin market. England has a better way to handle these treasures and enacted a Treasure Trove Act that requires to summit their finds to the state and then they are reimbursed based on the value.
Again, most AE3’s, as they are called, are extremely common and some are sold only for a few dollars.
