HER record of a hoard of 190 coins found with a ceramic pot base in High Wycombe under the roots of a tree. Described variously as having a date range AD 240-400 and "of approximately early fourth century date". Dr. Cathy King studied the hoard at the Ashmolean and concluded that it was "problematic" because "some of the mid fourth century coins present never turn up in British hoards" and it had similarities with material more common in early fifth century Egypt. The finder had some archaeological experience and was not using a metal detector.

De Jersey (2014): "The first three coins were recovered on 24 August 1997, and the remainder of the initial 38 - consisting of 15 British Lb (ABC 2442) staters and 23 British Qb (ABC 488) staters - discovered in the first week of September. Most of the coins were scattered over an area "about 10 m across" (BMHF), although there were some outliers, the furthest approximately 75 m distant. The coins were at varying depths, a few near the surface and the rest between 30 - 50 cm deep, in ploughsoil and in the stonier subsoil.[...] In August and October 1999 two further staters were fo…

De Jersey (2014): ""June 1. ELEVEN gold British coins were lately found by a shepherd boy, in the parish of Wycombe, Bucks; whilst trying to catch a mole, he took up an oblong flint, and began to dig, when two of the coins dropt from an aperture at the least end, and on breaking the stone nine more were found. The stone in size and shape resembled a swan's egg, though rather flatter. The whole of the coins weighed about two ounces. There was an uniformity of execution in them all, and a great similarity in the impressions, especially on the reverse, yet in some degree they varied f…

De Jersey (2014): "The first published notice of the Whaddon Chase hoard appears to be in the Bucks Herald of Saturday 17 March, 1849 (Figure X1), reproduced almost word for word in The Times two days later. The newspaper account is largely dismissed - with some justification - in the first numismatic publication (Akerman 1850), read before the Numismatic Society on 26 April 1849 (coincidentally the day on which John Evans was elected to the Society). In fact from the start there are discrepancies in the reported date of the discovery, to say nothing of the contents of the find. Al…

De Jersey 2014: "Evans (1890, 437) records a Whaddon Chase stater "said to have been found, together with four other British coins, near Thetford". Allen (1960a, 184) repeats this information with the comment "Or Brettenham". The coin is almost certainly BMC 310 (Chadburn 2006, hoard 8), which matches the weight given by Evans. Haselgrove (1987, 328 no. 73) acknowledges that it could be a bona fide small hoard, but also suggests it could be a parcel from Whaddon Chase (10). Evans himself had some doubts about these "new" finds, "so many of the coins of this type having been found a…
