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 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 (…

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…

Summary: Bronze Age hoard consisting of 191 objects including wood and cloth. The finds were found with a metal detector in the ploughsoil over an area at least 30ft. across, and the site was subsequently excavated by Andrew Rogerson. The site was ridged for asparagus immediately prior to the first discovery. During excavation, the surface was removed to reveal an almost square pit (300 x 300mm) cut into natural orange clay to a depth of 90mm. The very clearly defined edges of the cut indicate that the pit was not left open for a great length of time. The upper surface was ba…

A dispersed hoard of 19 Roman denarii (or fragments thereof), scattered over an area by agricultural activity. The coins are mainly of the Roman Republic but several are of slightly later date, the latest being Gaius and Lucius Caesars issues of Augustus and a PONTIF MAXIM type of Tiberius. The hoard is of a similar date to nearby hoards from Norfolk, such as one from South Norfolk (NMS-00AFB2 with addenda NMS-F70106, NMS-B84D92 and NMS-692AA4). It could have been deposited or lost in the 20s to 60s AD, probably associated with the Roman invasion of Britain in AD43, perhaps with …

Four base silver radiates of the AD250s struck in the names of Valerian I and his family. Radiates of this period are unusual as stray finds, and these four undoubtedly represent a small hoard or purse loss (or part thereof).

Description: Hoard consisting of two copper-alloy Middle Bronze Age palstave axeheads. One is complete, the other is missing the blade end. Both are pitted and corroded. Palstave 1 - complete. This palstave is corroded, but retains areas of shiny dark olive green surface. One face has a reasonably clear grooved shield shape, but this appears to have been worn away on the other face. The sides are smooth and featureless, and at the blade end curve out to a narrow cutting edge. The flanges are very low, perhaps worn down. Dimensions: Length 108.7mm, maximum width (at cutting …

Three items of numismatica, a groat of Mary (North 1960) worn smooth and two seventeenth-century copper alloy tokens, found stuck together by oxidisation products. One is a farthing of Jonathan Peke of Stowmarket (Williamson Suffolk 313), the other a halfpenny of Thomas Powell of Cambridge (Williamson Cambs 73). They surely form part of a purse loss, the two tokens becoming corroded to the groat. The group offers a good window on the circulating medium of the late 17th century - a groat over a century old and worn smooth, together with two tokens, examples of a supplementary coin…

Description: Hoard of three silver ingots or hacksilver fragments. 1. Long, slim rectangular ingot, all faces fairly flat but slightly undulating. It is rectangular in cross-section, and has a dark grey patina with hints of green corrosion. There are no nicks or testing marks. Two of the long arrises are slightly rounded and may be hammered, although it is also possible that the ingot has become worn and battered after deposition. It narrows at one end (which appears to be original) measuring 7.0 x 4.9mm in cross-section. The other end is more granular, and (a…

Two copper alloy nummi stuck together. Both are Constantinian BEATA TRANQVILLITAS Altar types. They have evidently fused together after long contact with one another in the ground and thus represent part of either a hoard or purse loss. Since there are only two of them thus far they do not qualify as Treasure where at least ten non-precious metal coins are needed. Catalogue 1) Constantine I, obverse only visible; CONSTANTINVS AVG, laureate, trabeate bust right holding eagle-tipped sceptre. 2) House of Constantine, reverse only visible; BEATA TRANQVILLITAS, Altar, mintmark illeg…

Two copper alloy radiates, found concreted together - they are now separated. They are: 1) Gallienus, radiate, Rome, reverse illegible, AD260-8 2) Claudius II, Rome, reverse GENIO EXERCI, Genius left, AD268-70 The coins surely went into the ground together but, being copper alloy and only two in number, do not qualify as Treasure. Date of deposition would have been at some point in the 270s or 280s.

Description and dimensions: Fragment of a silver siliqua of Jovian, reverse Vota in wreath, heavily clipped so that mintmark and further details are illegible, minted AD 363-4. Weight 0.54g. Heavily clipped with some wear. Discussion and date: Two previous coins from this hoard, recorded at NMS-61F8C7 (2012T402) were minted slightly later but are equally heavily clipped, a practice that seems to belong to the very last years of the 4th century and the early years of the 5th. Siliquae are rare as stray finds, and, since all are heavily clipped and patterns of wear are consist…
