The brooch body is composed of a thin strip of copper-alloy, which has traces of a vertical catchplate on the reverse and a simple decoration of two raised ridges running the vertical length of the out…

There is an extended flan on the coin which has suffered damage and the broken edge of the coin is slightly upturned on the reverse face, suggesting it was either cut or bent to break.

De Jersey (2015): "The first discoveries at Climping were made on 20 August 2000, in the course of a metal detecting rally attended by some 600 people, but with no archaeological observation or recording taking place; all the more unfortunate since as well as the Iron Age hoard, a hoard of 88 Roman denarii was found at the same event. Ten days after the initial find of Iron Age staters, a large area of ground was excavated around the focus of the discovery, apparently by JCB, thus destroying any remaining vestiges of archaeological information. Two further metal detecting rallies took…

Four coins were shown to the British Museum by Alec Down, and published in the BNJ Coin Register (vol. 60 (1990), pl. 30.14-16, pl. 33.127).

The earliest source to mention the circumstances of the find appears to be the Carlyon-Britton sale catalogue (Sotheby, 17 November 1913), at lots 24, 37 and 49, all of which are described as "Found in a tumulus at Cackham Farm, West Wittering, about 1840".

De Jersey (2014): "In 1992 or 1993 a private collector was shown photographs of 85 Gallo-Belgic E staters which, he was led to believe, had been found in a hoard in England. The coins were added to the CCI as 95.2811-95; no further information on the provenance, or any other details of the find, were forthcoming. Some fifteen years later, in 2007, several more photographs of the hoard surfaced, along with some additional detail on the provenance, which appears to have been in the vicinity of Arundel. Although evidently of considerable importance, the newer photographs create some dif…

Another three were recorded by a private collector. As this rally took place on different fields to those searched in 2000 and 2002, the coins were presumably not associated with the original Climping hoard, but perhaps represent a separate deposit.
