has the look view of Numismatic (like me ).... that this is the more rare coins better. Saxon and Visigothic coins marking the beginning of middle age and have something of Roman and Medieval.
Here you can see what they were rare coins of the Visigoths ..... one of my dreams is to find one.

The saxon Styca I found with the Sceat has been ID it's a irregular issue Northumbrian styca 843-855, these coins are a attempt on copying of the ruler/ monyer, often blundered.
It looks like I might be making my way to your side of the pond for the first time this year- can you recommend any tour groups for Yank diggers like myself? Hopefully somebody who'll take care of all the legal niceties and who won't salt the ground with planted finds?
I'll only have about a week- my goal is to find at least one Roman bronze and one hammered silver- really any coin which predates the oldest I've dug over here (currently my oldest is 1658).
(Edit to add: those are my hopes, anyway- I dunno how realistic it is to hope to fulfill those goals within one week, but I intend to work hard for it.)

Hmm... that ain't British... the portrait looks like Napoleon I!
Love the counterstamped copper, too, BTW.
That is exactly what that coin is a 1811 Napoleon Dd60
If Mother Earth give,s us precious metals like gold silver and copper why leave them in the ground to disappear forever , dig them out and save History !!
Thanks for posting that that worn Silver coin got over looked because of the outher finds I have been meaning to ID it but have never got around to it :P now you have done it for me
