The Walkington Hoard is a hoard of Corieltavian gold staters. They are a widely scattered hoard which have been found by metal-detectorists over the course of a decade.[1]
The first portion of the hoard was discovered in November 1999 and consisted of eleven coins. Subsequent batches were found in: September–October 2000 (35 coins), 2001 (21 coins), 2002 (13 coins), August–September 2003 (18 coins), 2005 (two batches of six coins and three coins), October 2007 (3 coins), 2008 (six coins). At least 116 coins have thus so-far been discovered.[1]
