  • A day all Metal Detectorists dream of. On a Rally held by Go Detecting Midlands who you can find on Facebook an amazing hoard of Saxon silver pennies came to light. Watch the video and see the moment some of these 1200 year old coins were found. Most likely buried in a pot by a Saxon noble as they got word the Viking Army were about to invade them.

    not had a coin in a few days.
    nice 1857 3 pence the other day but the ground is so hard it's difficult to get things out without damaging them.
    lovely 1830 floral triple guilt button yesterday but slow going and hard on the wrists and ankles here in Cornwall.

      Well Gday to you down under. Up to now I’ve only ever found one Saxon coin that was last year. But I do find nice Roman and Medieval coins a fair bit. If you click the trailer for my channel you’ll see I have Ozzy mates over most years too till covid came along. John finds an amazing coin in the trailer and we tease him. Think there’s even an old play list on my channel from years ago called the Detecting Ashes. Named after the Cricket Ashes. Me and John got talking about cricket buckles we’d both found one each. The rest is history as they say he even came over to be my best man. Next time he comes he’ll have to visit my wife’s grave cos unfortunately I lost her to cancer. Glad you liked the video. Dip in and enjoy 😊

    • @AngloCelticMetalDetecting
      @AngloCelticMetalDetecting  Před 2 lety

      They’ll all be handed in . Each county has their own Finds Liaison Officer. A coroner has to write a report on them. Decide if a museum is keeping them or returned to finders. In this high status important case the museum will keep them. Treasure valuation committee will pay out a value. The farmer will get half and the finders split the rest. The whole Treasure process can take two to three years sometimes longer. Hopefully at the end of that they’ll go on display . I dubbed it the Bidford hoard possibly might end up being called the Bickmarsh hoard it’s early days just now. Detecting conditions were really bad we struggle with dry ground so hopefully the total of 24 will rise when people revisit with better ground conditions.
