@jamesicus, and everyone else

Wait a minute!
What are we sitting here for?
Why aren't we hoard searching right now?
Huh?
Huh?

I think most of the dour, tight-fisted, Yorkshire/Lancashire farmers that I remember from the area where I grew up would require a hefty, non-refundable fee be paid before any "digger" was allowed to turn a spadeful of earth on their land -- and in addition a written, notarized agreement to surrender the lions share of any profit realized from the sale of discovered artifacts. I actually don't know the current rules and regulations for metal detecting or digging for artifacts on private or public lands in Britain but the information is searchable online.

 

Probably a fanciful tale. Slaves were too valuable and expensive to kill them, likely more valuable than the smaller bronze hoards.

 

I didn't want there to be any bad info for future readers and was unable to "edit" my earlier post.
The hoard is the "Mossy Bottom Barn" East Sussex in 2000.
My apologies, been at hospital all day and forgot everything at home. Wife had a routine surgery.

 

I have several Chinese coins (most of mine) that were from hoards. I will have to upload pictures at a later date.

 

Hopefully all is well.

 

It was one of those female things. 2nd time in a year, they say they fixed it this time.

 

Smojo, I hope everything went well (be nice to her)

 

Hope wife is feeing good!

 

Thanks. Hoping she'll get released tomarrow. Salvage what left of the holiday weekend, spend some quality time with my coins

 

Hope all is well with your wife and she is home sound and healthy tomorrow.

 

This just arrived from Tom Mann dba Frascatius ancients on eBay. From the Petherton hoard for $24.50

 

Neat addition

 

Really cool Jim!
