The Tarrant Gunville Hoard: In July of 2022, a metal-detectorist in the east Dorset parish of Tarrant Gunville recovered an important hoard of Iron Age coins. Numbering 31 pieces in total, mostly gold Chute type staters from the Belgae tribes but also containing some Silver Durotrigian coins highlighting the mixing of Iron age coin types. With no interest to acquire the hoard forthcoming from either local or national museums, it was subsequently disclaimed and returned to the finder who contacted us.
We have produced an information booklet, a copy of this will be sent with each coin and is also available online here. A detailed catalogue can also be viewed on the Portable Antiquities website here.

A rare & exciting opportunity to own a coin from a fully provenanced and researched treasure find.
