At least five hoards from the mid third and early fourth centuries have been found at Beachy Head (700 in 1879, 2,000 in 1899, 5,000 in 1961, 3,000 in 1964 and 3,000 in 1973).</p><p><br /></p><p>1961 and 1964 were found by the same farmer while ploughing a field. 1973 was found in a bronze bucket with a metal detector near the same spot. 2,156 of 3,000 were of Tetricus I or II. The lack of unofficial coins and final Cologne and Trier issues suggests an early burial date of 273.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
