🥇 BANNER At least a couple of thousand coins.

[oldsoapy]

Found on farmland this week. can't say too much as they are at the BM in London for conservation etc etc, could be even more than 2000 . They all seem to be late 3rd century bronzes with radiate head. unfortunatly wont know much more for quite a long period but will keep you posted.

Hutch.

With all the incredible finds Crusader has pulled out, I'm surprised you HAVE a wish list still! Just goes to show, there's no end to the pleasure of great and greater finds!

I've revised my Wish List many times over the years. It should now be called the 'impossible list', but there is always hope.

I missed this post and saw it on top. Great job on the way you dug and fantastic find. Well deserved banner. If it makes the news over there be sure and post the article or link us to it.

 

[MalteseFalcon]

Wow! Just now saw this!

Congrats, OS on a fantastic find!

As mentioned by others, I wish there were a system in the States like there is in ol' Britannia. It is very sensible, and everybody wins!

Thanks for posting the photos! I am in awe!

This Banner Find, gives me goose bumps! - for reasons I can't mention,
but this hoard must have been a very rich Roman's treasure...,
or, perhaps the loot taken from an enemy...?
...or, the taxes squeezed from the populace...??!

I had all those thoughts too, almost erie. I am going to go back soon to look for any "stragglers" ,from the pot being .caught by the ploughing.if l find any they will be classed as part of the hoard,but l should be able to take a picture of them before handing them in. Hutch.

Do they do any added investigation, like Geophysics?

 

[uglymailman]

Congrats on such a great and important find! Do you think it was hidden treasure or an offering? With all that Cru has pulled out I'm surprised there's anything left. Good luck.

 

[Scrappy]

Back wednesday for the "stragglers" despite all the walking around on the crop when we dug the original coins the crop of spring barley has very little damage to be seen and has grown so much lts difficult to detect:: in just 2 hours l found a further 70 coins . there will be more when the crop is harvested so . its time to be patient.

I'm not sure about barley but thats why some farmers let us on the wheat until its 3 inches high, some think it does it some good to be walked on.

So, any news on the estimate? Must be closer to 15,000?
