Mmm Nice find. It would have been nice to have seen the hoard of coins as well or did I miss that bit? Also I do not understand why that single gold coin he found on another occasion was registered under the treasure act unless of course it was found in the same vicinity as the pot and of the same period?

It doesn't mention treasure in the PAS report the newspaper must have got the story a bit wrong;

What a beautiful (and very small at 10mm and 1.4 grams!) coin that is - stunning. That would do me this weekend :g58: :g50:

I found a merovingian tremissis once except it wasn't, it was a gold plated copper copy, possibly grave goods;
