<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 7985711, member: 111067&quot;]I lived 11 miles from Mildenhall and it was a great discovery. Suffolk has produced some extraordinary discoveries over the years. For example, from Wiki, </p><p>The <b>Mildenhall Treasure</b> is a large <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoard" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoard" rel="nofollow">hoard</a> of 34 masterpieces of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire" rel="nofollow">Roman</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver" rel="nofollow">silver</a> tableware from the fourth century AD, and by far the most valuable Roman objects artistically and by weight of bullion in Britain. It was found at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Row" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Row" rel="nofollow">West Row</a>, near <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildenhall,_Suffolk" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildenhall,_Suffolk" rel="nofollow">Mildenhall</a>, Suffolk, in 1942. It consists of over thirty items and includes the Great Dish which weighs over 8kg.</p><p>The collection is on view in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Museum" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Museum" rel="nofollow">British Museum</a> because of its immense importance and value, and replicas are on show in the local museum at Mildenhall.</p><p><br /></p><p>One point so other members don&#039;t look up the wrong thing looking for more info, this is not to be confused with The Cunetio Hoard, also known as the Mildenhall Hoard, it is the largest hoard of Roman coins found in Britain. It was discovered in 1978 in the County of Wiltshire.</p><p>Thanks for posting[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
