Abstract:
Early in November 1961 a farmer and his son were engaged in deep ploughing one of the fields at Bullock Down Farm (O.S. 577962) at Beachy Head near eastbourne in Sussex, when they noticed a scatter of perhaps a hundred copper coins. These they carefully gathered up, and, after a vist to the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum, they were encouraged to return to the spot where they recovered over the next few days a grand total of 5,146 coins.
