Most were found in Kent and even the London ones are postal Kent (PAS = Greater London) as that's where I mainly detect. A few notes on the coins. All the 'copper alloy' ones are colour photoshopped in order to harmonise the colour variations in photography so they are not all brown in real life. The sizes are also scaled but there is nothing unusual in any of them that need explaining. If you spot any dating errors on the spreadsheet timeline please let me know !
