One Sunday evening in the summer of 2008, while prospecting on
commercial land in the vicinity of the village of Warmington,
situated on the summit of Edge Hill (south Warwickshire, England),
a metal-detectorist saw a small silver disk on the surface. This
was followed by the registration of a further two coins by his
equipment, then others as he began a methodical survey of the area.
After he had alerted the local Warmington Heritage Group to his
discovery, the decision was taken to locate and mark the nucleus of
the soundings being made and to leave further work to the following
day. This revealed a spread of coins, at times up to fifty metres

nucleus itself was excavated, revealing a pot full of unstratified
coins. Following cleaning, photographing, and initial
identification, the hoard was deposited in the Warwickshire Museum
pending arrangement of the necessary inquest in accordance with the
Treasure Act. During this period additional coins came to light,
bringing the total to 1146 specimens. Chronologically the hoard
covers the period from 194/190 BC to AD 64,
