R. Bland examined 7 out of 1500 nummi to 378. This hoard was thought very likely to be the same as the 'Kings Langley' hoard (hoard number 935) bought in good faith by the Roemisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum in Mainz. However there is an element of doubt related to discrepancies in the date of discovery and the similarity of the containers. The discovery of the Amersham hoard was reported in "Take a Break" magazine along with photographs and was subsequently sold to a dealer without being examined.
