Here is some info on the Frome Hoard, found in the same county:
Being pedantic, not the same county, but very close to one another. I actually went to school in Bath, when it was in a county called Avon, and with boundary changes it is now classed under the horrific county name of BANES (Bath And
North East Somerset), which is a different county to Somerset, where Frome is situated.
I only wish I
had thought of looking for coins when I was at school!
And I think that one of the problems with finding
hoards like this in Bath, is that the city is extremely restrictive on new builds. So property is excessively expensive, mainly made of Bath
stone, and has been made to last. The chances are that there are lots of coins buried there, but in a densely populated
area with little new building
work, or buildings being demolished for new properties to be built, many
hoards will probably never have the chance to see the light of day.
