Always enjoy your posts. Incredible finds.

cool finds as always. I'm curious as to why the Roman coins are holed

The Saxon's turned them into jewelry in the late 5th C- early 6th C.

Thanks for the reply Crusader. That's interesting. So could I assume some has been found in use as jewelry in Saxon grave sites?
