The Hoxne Hoard is a significant archaeological discovery in Britain, consisting of a large collection of late Roman silver and gold. It was discovered in 1992 by Eric Lawes, a metal detectorist, in the village of Hoxne in Suffolk. The hoard includes over 14,000 coins and approximately 200 items of silver tableware and gold jewelry. The objects are now housed in the British Museum in London. The discovery of the hoard improved the relationship between metal detectorists and archaeologists and led to a change in English law regarding the findings of treasure. The hoard provides valuable insights into the late Roman period and the wealth of its owners.
