Two Late Saxon pennies found 30m apart. Both are PAX type pennies of Harold II Godwinson dating to 1066 and both are, furthermore, struck from the same pair of dies. The moneyer is Godric of Thetford. It is inconceivable that two coins of this period struck from the same pair of dies could have come to be lost separately so closely together and we are surely dealing with part of a group of coins that went into the ground together. Such a group, of two silver coins or more and of more than 300 years age, qualifies as Treasure. The coins are rather flat-struck but have seen little …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Unidentified object. Two cast silver rings, one D-sectioned (external diameter 12mm, internal diameter 9mm) the other circular-sectioned (external diameter 11mm, internal diameter 7mm), linked by a strip of silver forming a triple ribbed loop (width 3mm), the ends of which are tapered, twisted and broken. It is possible that the twisted ends of the connecting loop were inserted into leather or cloth leaving the two rings to act as suspension loops, although the fitting would have been unable to take much weight.
