Other: Same discrepancy with earlier cards as the previous one; site in West Halton is near  Scunthorpe in Licolnshire not Humberside, Hoard is now composed of 18 artefacts instead of 9.West Halton could be described as Humberside, but it is on the opposite side of the Humber to Sproatley where the earlier cards on this location reported the site to be. The larger number of finds could be down to this being a different collection but from the same area.
