My first thought as well Geoff.  One thing is for sure, it wasn't some ones savings.  Unless that some one was very, very important. Wink

I noticed on the News report the commentator said about it raising so many questions 'was it hidden from the Vikings'  who do they think Cnut was.

Again in the Mirror they've said 'probably hidden in 1066 to hide it from Williams' army' - so why aren't there any coins of Edward the Confessor in it then - they're pretty common......

It'll be interesting to see how far into Cnut's reign they actually run to as well - if it were the finally issues, you could make a claim perhaps for the jostling for position between Harold I and Harthacnut......

And given it was a wealthy establishment with some important people living there, you've got to wonder who buried it and how come no-one else noticed it being buried and had the chance to recover it....
