Summary

A hoard of sestertii found "on ploughed land not far from Slough" in a bronze bowl in 1979. Listed for sale by Richard Swan (part of sale listing pamphlet seen, post-dating 1982, with types and illustrations of coins). It is not certain if the whole hoard was recorded, the listing notes "two other coins were examined by the writer which were said to come from the same hoard, a Trajan sestertius, and one of Marcus Aurelius as Augustus [which]...would push the date of burial much further than the middle 150's AD". These were rejected despite being from the same field due to differences in their patination and wear.
