I'd love to get in there, and have a nose around, see what's in there, and what's hidden ☺️

As well as the incredible Mary groat, I also on this same day found two early medieval coin fragments.

A Carolingian denier of Charles the Bald, mint of Angers, AD 864-877

A viking silver St Edmund memorial penny, AD 895-910
