An urn containing more than 400 Anglo-Saxon silver coins was ploughed up in 1945. The gardener of Tetney churchyard recalled that the hoard was found by a farm workman, in a field at TA 3075 0132. The gardener believed the hoard was claimed as 'Treasure Trove' and a reward of £100 was paid to the workman. The coins are now in the British Museum and Lincoln Museum. {1}{2}{3}{4} The hoard was found in May 1945, and comprised 420 silver pennies, held in a hard chalk receptacle with a detachable lid. The coins were predominantly issues of King Eadgar (959-975 AD), though some earlier issues were included, along with two small silver clips, thought to have been used as small clasps or fittings. {5}
