Found a 2,000 year old Roman coin in a parking lot dig last month, still shocked

I was helping with a routine site survey before a new Walmart goes in, and we pulled out a denarius from 18 AD, in near mint condition. The debate is should private collectors get dibs on stuff like this, or should all finds go straight to museums? What do you think?

18 AD actually means it's from nearly 2000 years ago, not 2000 exactly.

Oh wow, a buddy of mine found an old axe in his backyard and the county took it.
