Yes Keith :g50: I am hoping to hear more about it before that though :g43: Not sure if it was found on an organised dig by Adam & Lisa or on a private dig?

This could be one of the most significant coin hoards for a very long time.

They are very dedicated detectorists and seem to acquire some excellent sites.

Good luck to them.

Adam and Lisa are a couple who have been making their mark for the last couple of years on the internet and also in the National magazines.
