The Hackney Hoard The 80 coins are all gold 20-dollar pieces of the United States, issued between 1854 and 1913. The coins are thus all the same denomination, introduced in this form in 1850, and were struck to the same standard, 90% gold, used from 1837 until the end of US gold coinage in 1933. The catalogue shows that the coins gradually increase in number across the decades from 1870 to 1909 (13 coins from 1870-9; 14 from 1880-89; 18 from 1890-99; and 25 from 1900-9).

Two Medieval pottery body sherds with bungholes from two large Surrey Whiteware cisterns, possibly Kingston Ware (14th – 15th century). Both the sherds have a white fabric and include the circular bunghole with decorative rim. The rim is decorated with thumb impressions creating a frilled appearance. Bungholes like this are often found near the base of large cisterns which were used to store fluids. Roy Stephenson notes this is likely to be domestic waste as opposed to firing waste.
