Treasure report by Adrian Marsden: A hoard of cu alloy objects found in close association with one another and very close to a radiate imitation manufacturer's hoard found in November 2004 (see file). These comprise two RB bracelets and 10 sestertii of the second century. The coins, where condition at deposition can be ascertained, were all heavily worn, suggesting a mid-third century date. This suggests that both bracelets and coins were intended for melting down to produce radiate imitations, a theory made more likely by the fact that one sestertius appears to have had pieces cut…

CORONER'S REPORT Description of find: The coins, originally totaling at least five in number, had been stacked one on top of the other. At some time extreme heat has caused them to fuse together, this process rendering all details apart from one side of a fragmentary coin illegible. This one legible face is a small cross pattee type, presumably a reverse, of early tenth century date. The lettering is crude and this coin would seem to be a contemporary imitation from the Danelaw. A similar group of fused pennies was found at Aylsham in 2002. The legend reads [...]HRlDGAR[...].…

Two medieval silver coins were found whilst searching with a metal detector during October 2008, in the same immediate area as a small dispersed hoard of six coins that was discovered by the same finder in November 2007 (2007T676, recorded at NMS-EA4080). Description: The two coins are both sterling pennies of Edward I, one a class 3d type of Bristol, the other a class 9b of London. The earlier coin is more heavily worn than the later, which is consistent with the hoard's putative terminal date of c1310. Catalogue: 1) Edward I penny, class 3d, Bristol mint, 1280-1 2) Edward …

Two fused fragmentary pennies, both of Aethelred II's 'crux' type, struck c. 991-7. A blob of melted silver is fused to the surface of one of the coins; this may have constituted part of a third coin although it is equally possible that it came from one of the two coins present. The fact that the coins were lying in contact with one another before fire fused them together demonstrates that they must have been lost or hidden at the same time. Minted in Wallingford, possibly by the moneyer Aelfwig. The coins are in good condition and this suggests that they were deposited (…

Description of find 3 coins in close proximity to one another. All are close in date, two being Watford type pennies of Stephen, the other being an uncertain penny of similar date, probably one of North's uncertain Baronial issues. These almost certainly represent part of a scattered hoard; pennies of this period are very rare as single finds and the presence of three together is best understood in the context of a scattered hoard.

Five silver denarii and one silver radiate, found in a close area and running in a straight line as if scattered by the plough. One, a coin of Vespasian, is heavily worn whilst the others, coins of Septimius Severus and his family, were relatively crisp. They form a discrete group in terms of date and denomination and there seems no doubt that they represent part of a dispersed hoard.

This group comprises fifteen Iron Age coins and twenty-three Roman coins. All of the Iron Age coins belong to the East Anglian regional series which is usually associated with the Iceni, a people thought to have inhabited modern Norfolk and parts of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire in the century or so before the Roman conquest. The types represented here were struck between about 20 BC and AD 50. There are thirteen Roman Republican issues, the earliest struck by the magistrate P Maenius in 132 BC. The remaining ten coins are Roman Imperial issues, ranging from those of the first emperor, Au…
