Hi Yeti, Thank you for your detailed report of the days proceedings. The fact you were there in person is good enough for me..yeti wrote:I was lucky enough to get to see the hoard being recovered over the weekend and I can assure you everything was above board. Anni the Oxfordshire flo was in charge of the dig and a lot of care was taken around the location of the pot and the coins there were left in situ only gently brushed with toothbrushes until it was grided before removal. The other area where the detectorists were was the scatter area and Alex etc were making sure they did not go too deep.the coins were actually spread over quite a wide area and were still turning up in the area where the top soil had not been removed.Not once did I see anything that concerned me while I was there so well done to the finders and all those who helped with the recovery dig
