NHER 60850 (Find Spot record) - Medieval coin hoard(s)

November 2014-May 2015. Metal-detecting. [1].
Possible medieval coin hoard, consisting of a penny and cut halfpenny of William I. These coins were minted c.1068-1070 and are unlikely to have been lost or deposited very many years later. The presence of a cut halfpenny suggests this was probably a purse loss.
Information from PAS import.
These coins were donated to Norwich Castle Museum after being disclaimed as Treasure (Ref: 2015 T547).

These coins were disclaimed as Treasure (Ref: 2016 T1049) and subsequently donated to Norwich Castle Museum.

November 2019-April 2021. Metal-detecting. [2].
Possible medieval coin hoard comprising 2 coins of William I (complete penny and unreadable fragment). Initially treated as a second potential addendum to the possible hoard discovered in 2014/2015.
Information from PAS import.
These coins were returned to the finder after being disclaimed as Treasure (Ref: 2021 T898).

Although finding six pennies of William I and William II in one field is of considerable interest it is no longer thought that these coins potentially represent a single hoard. They are now interpreted as three distinct groups.
