The Tetney hoard deposited c. A.D. 963 was discovered at
the village of Tetney in North East Lincolnshire in May 1945. It consisted
of 394 pennies of Eadred, Eadwig, Eadgar and the Viking Kingdom of York
contained in a chalk container. Textile fragments (adhering to a few
coins) and two silver hooks indicate that the hoard was also buried inside
a cloth bag or purse.
The hoard was examined and recorded by the British Museum, who retained a
number of coins, the rest being made available to collectors.
