Summary

Some labourers were getting stone upon Edge-moor, in Crich Common they found in digging the surface two or three pieces of Roman coin which they judged to be silver, and looking round with attention they observed an earthen pot, the upper side lying level with the surface of the ground: the pot was broken into many pieces. They found it full of coins, which mouldered away in their hands, except 9 or 10, and these by rubbing and pinching with their fingers they broke, all but two or three. One is of Gordianus III, the head with a radiated diadem. The other is a fragment of Philip the younger. These coins appear to be copper or iron covered with tin.
