Re: update on the stolen viking hoard from leominster

Not sure this program will shine a very good light on the hobby after I saw a trailer for it the other night. Especially when it has someone saying that it was a lie that we are only interested in the discovery of history and were really in it for what we can sell things for! :g44: Probably Kev - s...

Re: update on the stolen viking hoard from leominster

I think the forthcoming TV drama series 'Finders Keepers' has a very similar storyline?

Re: Oxford finds story

Keith Westcott stirring it up again by the looks - load of bunkum I would say. There must still be millions of hammered silver coins yet to found in fields across the UK and probably hundreds if not thousands of hoards too. Not sure what acreage of fields there are in the UK, then you look at the si...

Re: Coin of new king found

Wow!! Another great find by a detectorist :shock: I am thinking that must be around 10 or more new kings/Monarchs that have been discovered by metal detectorists over the years, that we had no knowledge of before?
