>Are you going to spill the beans here?


no. I don't want treasure hunters to loot the site.
If I can find a publisher for my Avebury book I'll put all the details in there else it will have to be saved for another CD sometime.
I met up with the stonepages group at the New Inn last night, they are around somewhere today, I'll see if I can find them this aft.

There is nothing to treasure seek really. That coin of no value today other than as a curio of the shaft dig is a chance find for sure as the whole fence excavation had a top archaeo on site for the whole time. the coin slipping through has probably arisen during backfilling when the archaeo I think doesn't have to check it. The coin in this case would have been part of the loose fill they raked in and up with.

I am pleased you offered it to the AK Nigel, if not Wilts Heritage Museum Devizes would have loved it. It is quite a coup for HA, and a bit embarressing for EH.
