Iron Age gold coins found found
at Wickham Market...
One of the UK's largest hauls
of Iron Age gold coins, which
would have been worth in today's money up to £1m,
has been found in Suffolk. The 824 so-called staters
were found in a broken pottery jar buried in a field
near Wickham Market by a local man using a metal detector.
Jude Plouviez, of the Suffolk County Council Archaeological
Service, said the coins dated from 40BC to AD15. They
are thought to have been minted by predecessors of Iceni
Queen Boudicca.
