Coins From The Soil-A guide to the buried coinage of Britain

by Michael J. Cuddeford        

The author provides an illustrated catalogue of many of the more commonly found coins, together with some regularity, and which often present their finders with problems of identification. In addition mechanisms by which coins come to be in the ground in the first place are examined, and the results of an experiment on coin movement in ploughsoil are revealed.

Whilst in no way is this a definitive work it fills an important gap in presenting a guide to the main varieties of coins and tokens found in Britain.
