The two rows on the right were literally all stacked together in two piles. Having given it some thought I can’t quite figure how they got there. Sometimes you find a few coins near each other and I figure someone picked up their pants or dropped their purse; but why would coins get stacked together under ground? Anyway, it was a fun days digging.

Looks like you had a great day.
Is that a couple of silver shillings there too?
