Tealby Hoard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The discovery of the coin hoard was first reported in the Stamford Mercury on 6 November 1807: "a person ploughing...turned up at one end of a considerable tumulus a coarse glazed earthen pot, which contained about five thousand silver pennies, of Henry I and Henry II". It was followed up with a short article on 20 November which identified that some of the hoard had been deposited at the British Museum and others were in private collections, especially that of Joseph Banks.[1]
