Title: The Monknash Hoard.
Post by: 1morecoin on September 10, 2009, 08:27:12 PM
Looking through the cupboard today and found these pics of my Hoard.
They are not the best of pics but they are clear enough.
If you are interested in finds from the Vale I will be posting my best finds over the next few days.

Cheers,

Steve.

Nice find Steve, there was a rare one in there wasn't there? That pot looks almost modern, will look forward to seeing your other finds and pics.

Nice hoard well found 1morecoin.  I remember reading about this hoard a few years before I started detecting and thinking how cool it would be to find something that old and interesting  :)

Yes there was a Rare coin of Diva Marciana who was Trajans sister, while the Hoard was going through the Treasure process I saw another coin of Marciana sell for £2750 on Ebay, that coin was not in as good condition as mine but have a guess what I got for mine?
£250 made me sick.
