Could well be pete, he says they look to be from lots of different eras and maybe could have been someone’s coin collection that was either lost or stolen.

Don`t bother replying & quoting me then. :g50:

So lets examine the "news"..... d
Did "Mr Magnet Fisher" have permission?
Have said coins, that qualify as Treasure, been to inquest?
As they apparently haven`t according to the article how has "Mr Magnet Fisher" donated them to the Museum?

Now I know detecting related journalism is often shoddy at best but this is a new level of bad.

PS: My Dad passed away when when I was 14 and he always said I live in a free country and I am allowed to speak my mind. :kissblow:

Thanks Dave..... spades a spade & a shovels a shovel in my world.
I spend all day being "PC" and "nice" to people that, to be frank, I don`t really want to be nice to..the joys of working in the public sector and not being allowed to tell it like it is!!

A little out of order one thinks, the message from OW422. But agree with JC and the whole thing seems rather strange and a little odd. :g43:
