            Ex Isle of Wight Hoard. 

            The Isle of Wight hoard was discovered by metal detectorists near 
            the town of Brighstone on 19 October 2005. Consisting of 967 
            Durotrigan silver staters, most of the hoard were of the Cranborne 
            Chase type (Van Arsdell 1235-1). All of the coins were recorded and 
            photographed by the British Museum before being returned to the 
            finders and landowner. Many have gone to market since. See, e.g., 
            Coin News, February 2006, p. 32, for further details.
