Mitch Chris ID'd our oldest ever Celtic gold coin - Mid 2nd C BC Gallo- Belgic A type Very interesting, very thin (1mm) like a medieval hammered gold- Celtic gold qtr gold stater - sent to PAS ID and recording 1.75g, 15mm Iron Age, mid-2nd century BC One of the earliest coins in Britain This is a superb example of the Iron Age die-engraver's art. It also represents what is thought to be the first type of coin ever to circulate in Britain. They were probably made on the Continent in northern France or Belgium. Gold coins like this crossed over the English Channel, perhaps in trade or as gifts between high-ranking individuals. Some of them were eventually buried in coin hoards and not recovered by their owners. The owner may have died, or simply forgotten where they had put them. Alternatively, the coins may have been intended as permanent, sacred offerings to the gods. They are mostly found today by metal-detectorists, in locations throughout south-east England. Another one was found at Fenny Stratford near Milton Keynes. The design of the coin is, at several stages removed, descended from the Greek gold staters of King Philip II of Macedon (reigned 359-336 BC). The hair on the left-facing head has grown considerably, while the original two-horsed chariot on the reverse of the coin has been transformed here into a lively, abstract depiction of a horse surrounded by a large array of symbols. I.M. Stead and S. Youngs, Celts, British Museum Pocket Treasury (London, The British Museum Press, 1996) D. Nash, Coinage in the Celtic world (London, Seaby, 1987) I asked John Sills at the CCI for his views which are posted below It's correct as far as it goes but a bit vague, the coin is a standard early Gallo-Belgic Ab1 quarter stater, an earlier variant of ABC 31; the mid 2nd century date is right although this one is very worn and may have remained in circulation well into the 1st century BC. Possibly struck by either the Ambiani or the Bellovaci in and around the Somme Valley. All the best John |

BC Celtic gold qtr stater - not a tribe I know so researching it. Thanks to John Sills at the CI for the ID 12mm,1.96g ABC 34 Defaced Die quarter with a left-facing obverse bust obscured by lines and a left-facing horse and rider on the reverse with triskeles below. This type was struck somewhere in the French/Belgian border region in the 2nd century BC by an unknown tribe and possibly dates to around 175 BC plus or minus a couple of decades either way. Used to be very rare, I listed 17 examples in my 2003 book but there are perhaps 30 or so known now |

What looked like a modern gold plated ring is actually a lot earlier and gold sheet on an inner core.The punched decoration on the outside is actually writing in Lombardic type script which suggest medieval. I can read the word 'Little' but it is very difficult to make out the rest. I am not sure what the inner core is so I have reported it as potential treasure to the museum in case it is 10% gold or silver by weight Medieval rolled gold ring ?? - reported as potential treasure to museum 1.69g,19mm |

| Nearly 100 years ago Clay workers in Cornwall went on strike for better pay struck.So strong was their uprising that the dispute overwhelmed the local police force and officers from Wales – who were familiar with picket lines – had to be drafted into the county to cope. July 2013 marked the centenary of that three-month strike action of 1913, dubbed the Cornish clay strike, which witnessed 5,000 miners members of the "Workers Union" hold out for a pay rise |

2ndC Roman silver coin sent for ID By the shape of the head, I'd say Trajan (117-138) or Hadrian (138-160), but by the cheeks - which tend towards "chipmunk" - this may be beard - I'd have to say Hadrian is the most likely ruler. There isn't enough of the reverse visible to say anything definitive about the main device. It's probably a personification, like PAX, but with no legible legend, etc, I'm not going to get more specific than that. Let me see a photo when it's been cooked a bit. http://www.stoa.org/gallery/album92/ML03_Hadrian_Neptune_sest This is a characteristic-shaped portrait of Hadrian with a good example of the "chubby-cheeks" look of his later portraiture - it's in Æ and not silver, but I think you can see the resemblance to the fragmentary bust on the silver piece easily enough.

ARP were the air raid wardens. ARP posts were initially set up in the wardens home, or in a shop or an office, but they were later purpose-built. Each post covered a certain area, varying across the country, but with about ten to the square mile in London. Each post was divided into sectors, with perhaps three to six wardens in each sector. An ARP warden was almost always local - it was essential that he or she knew their sector and the people living there. 1938 London hall mark solid silver Air Raid Protection badge Maker JC - possibly John Crouch |
