Only 130 coins were recovered from the entire excavation at West Heslerton. While the scourge of metal detectors certainly affected the overall total of coins recovered, it is likely that the original total was not more than double, or at most, treble this amount, so an assumption is made that the assemblage provides a representative sample of overall coin loss through time.

Of the coins recovered, 1 was Iron Age, 100 were Roman (95 of which were looked at by John Davies), 24 were Middle Saxon and 5 were Medieval or Post-Medieval.
