Re: Museums report many thefts
It's not just the BM that this has been going on in for decades, but many other museums and heritage sites that have artefacts. Heritage sector workers have traditionally had lower wages than other 'professional' trades, so being surrounded by commercially popular items, that are not securely curate...

Re: Hoard of short cross pennies
Our club was lucky enough to find a hoard of 88 (so far) short cross pennies scattered over about 20 square metres and we are still awaiting the inquest 18 months on. Hopefully the field will get ploughed up after the harvest and we can add to the total, our goal is to get up to at least 100.

It's not a ring, but a vervel, it is tied to the hawks leg to show who owns the bird.

Re: Thefts of stone and lead.
Good to see that nighthawking incidents have fallen by 9%, it's a start in the right direction at least.

Re: Battle of Hastings hoard goes to sale
The coins were around the late 600s to 750. Little evidence of settlement of that period exists there and with such a short dating period it seems that a market is the most probable theory.

Re: Battle of Hastings hoard goes to sale
Saxon markets were called a Wic, hence Hampton Wick, Hamwic (Southampton) and Garwic about 20 miles from me in Lincolnshire that is well known amongst detectorists here and now the beards as it has produced around 90 Saxon coins of the gold and silver varieties in one field, with a few strays in nei...
