Great finds, most detectorists in England will never find a silver sceat

Really nice finds mate . I love finding them, they're so small you get a real sense of achievement when you do dig one up.

Sceattas (singular sceat, not sceatta) were small, thick silver coins minted in England, Frisia and Jutland during the Anglo-Saxon period

Yes you are right to a point, but it doesn't alter the fact that the Saxons made there way to England in the 4thc after the Roman occupation, continetal sceats turn up in most parts of Europe, before they were minted here

Well it was no mistake, finding sceatta in the part of Holland now called Friesland in any case. We have found plenty there over the years, they are real neat coins. The last few years it appears that Friesland has been searched out, we have not found any silver coins there, they must be there though, so maybe just bad luck. But in West Friesland (across the big sea or lake as it now is) and the other provinces here we find very few sceatta.
These are just great finds Bubbus!
