Thank you Sel,
Here is my complete collection of Durotriges so far.
At present, I refer to them as Duro001, etc., and they are 001 to 003 left to right top, and 004 to 006 lower.
001 to 003 cost £23 together, and I was informed that they come from mid-Dorset (I know the name of the nearest village, but will keep that private).
004 cost £10.50, and was referred to as "Cranborne Chase unit/coin, Dorset".
005 and 006 cost £17.70 together, and I'm informed that they were found near Southampton many years ago.
These prices are of course in British pounds - I never include postal charges in my records, as visiting a dealer would probably cost me more.
I was born in the area, and when I know a bit more about the coins I will try to put together a short article about them, including anything that the Bournemouth University team can help me with. I already have one book which summarises remains of the Durotriges - a sort of summary of the main locations investigated. It appears from both Durotrige and Roman "digs" that their coins might have circulated alongside each other for a while.
Any further information about the Durotriges and their coins would be appreciated, including comments on my modest collection. How can one tell the difference between a stater and a quarter-stater?
Bill.
EDIT: Coins re-scanned 3+3 to give a narrower format and text amended accordingly. I hate illustrations wider than a normal page!
