Amazing find, the coins must be looking better now than when that photo was taken three years ago.
Is this hoard registered on the Portable Antiquities Scheme website?

Yes the hoard is registered with PAS, but by default as a treasure case. I cannot PM yet I do not think.

I have only just spotted this thread! Must be far too busy...... Excellent find, bet your stomach did a flip when they came up? Is this the one that had 2 pots, one was empty the other had about 1200 coins in?

No, this pot although broken would have been full from its estimated size. 1660 coins in this one!

What area did you find these in? Obviously not the exact location, just the area. Don't give me the location, I would be in the car and on the way with 'Eddy' before I had finished reading if you gave me that lol.

Now that does interest me, it's an area I have been looking at for a while now, along with others, especially round the Mildenhall area.
Might have to get my old bits of paper out and see what I had pinpointed to 'hit'. Brill find though, congrats!!

Its hard getting land down this way.......really hard. I am just about to sign a farm up, but its the first for a year. Its got the remains of a Roman temple/later medieval church on it I suspect. I have contacted 'in person' hundreds of farmers this year but to be frank, I have been  I have loads to say for myself, so I'll probably post plenty....just about to post pics of the encrusted coins I got through the mail this morning. |
