Full Description

On 12/11/1910, in a field at Kingsland Farm, Edwinstowe, a small Ro clay pot, of light colour, was turned up by a plough in charge of William Woodcock ... There were 369 coins, but a few may have been lost in the soil, as the pot was broken by the ploughshare. They proved to be all silver denarii ... of AD 68-192. (Some coins to go the Retford Grammar School Museum). (1)
A hoard of 200 silver denarii from Nero to Commodus found in an earthenware jar when ploughing Kingland Farm (probably Kings Stand Farm). In Doncaster Museum. (2) (3) (4)
The hoard is in Doncaster Museum. Total number of coins is 189. (5)
In June 1988, a further 32 coins were found, over an oval area some 5-6yds long, by a metal detector user from Chesterfield Club. From approx the same area as the 1910 hoard, and of date range 69-180 AD, so possibly the residue of the original find. Inquest held and coins declared treasure trove, sent to BM. (7)
See L 3947 for nearby find.
