And I still wonder why...</p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t mind any thread being hijacked when it leads in interesting directions, as this one has led to hoard evidence. Interestingly, I find three coins in my collection from published hoards: Carosino hoard (1905), Randazzo hoard (1980), and an unnamed one (Coin Hoards Volume VIII, 298, 1979/80).

And I still wonder why... I don’t mind any thread being hijacked when it leads in interesting directions, as this one has led to hoard evidence. Interestingly, I find three coins in my collection from published hoards: Carosino hoard (1905), Randazzo hoard (1980), and an unnamed one (Coin Hoards Volume VIII, 298, 1979/80).
