Yea there everywere, you will be lucky to find a hoard if you lived here, I have been lucky to find two, but out of every 1000 UK hunters, you would be lucky to get one of them, that had found a hoard.
Not really, unless you are classing hoards as 100's of coins, in the UK it only has to be two coins or more, of a precious metal, bronze silver or gold...to be classed as a hoard.
Nice Goldie mate, and welcome to TreasureNet...if this had been an American find there would have been three page of repliesSome times I wonder why we bother posting at all.

I hear ya...the only time I refere to trash is when I detect on what I call night soil fields, these are the fields were the Victorians and Edwardians tipped there trash, they are quite frustrating....mostly burnt rubbish.I realize that it's not a bed of roses to detect anywhere but many times myself and others here in the states read posts from UK hunters stating that what they found was trash or not really a big deal at all because it was only 200-300 years old but meanwhile, back at the ranch... Most of us here are lucky to hit the 17th - 18th century and when we do it's few and far between. I have seen some threads go various pages as you've mentioned and the find was pretty common yet others get little or no attention which is one reason I thought you were being serious. Heck, I posted two threads this past summer of items I've never seen posted and they were basically ignored even though one was voted on for banner... I was however flattered to get yet a different find published in the December issue of a UK magazine that meant pretty much nothing to anyone here.
Congrats on the #12 banner find and many more to come
. Always enjoy the finds from ya'lls ancient ground we just need a good explanation sometimes.
I have been out before though and found in one field no more than 100m by 60m 5 Victorian pennies, 50p and a 20p. A bottle top, a horse shoe, a brewery badge and a old miners put tag 
I must admit I do love where we live. There's a Bronze Age burial chamber not 5 miles away, then there is all Victorian and Historical buildings and further a field we have an old village that had the Black Death were people use to throw valuables in to the river (now a shallow stream) so you find rings and bracelets in there. Dried up pond are also good places to hunt as tribes and people of power use to throw swords an very valuable items in there as offerings to the gods. I also have a gold pan full of welsh gold too from my trip to Wales.
