Great to see the Baddow hoard on display at the Museum of Chelmsford. At 935 gold coins this is the largest recorded Iron Age gold hoard from Britain. www.museumofchelmsford.co.uk/events/timel...
Many gold coins in a display case

A Bronze Age gold-worker’s hoard discovered near Urchfont, Wiltshire (WILT-C97E23). Wiltshire Museum hopes to acquire the hoard. The finder stopped digging when he realised what he had found, allowing archaeologists to block life the hoard and bring it to the British Museum for micro-excavation.
