Quote:The UKDFD (United Kingdom Detector Finds Database) http://www.ukdfd.co.uk since its conception in 2005 has identified a large number of what appear to be hitherto unrecorded moneyers, in fact around over twenty at the moment. The latest being record number 20046. http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrec...046&cat=99
We on the admin team where thinking of opening this information up to maybe a student or others thinking on writing a phd so these moneyers could be written up and added to the reference journals etc.
If anybody has any thoughts and suggestions how to get these details published or know of any students who would be willing to undertake this work please let me know.
Many thanks
Gary

This is a great opportunity to conduct some good research into moneyers who were previously unknown. Full credit can be expected - it also helps to bring this information out to a wider research community.
