Metal detector man finds massive Anglo-Saxon hoard
Activer le mode zenDanielle Dwyer
"A 55-year-old metal detectorist unearthed the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold ever found, archaeologists said today.
"The staggering discovery, on private farmland in Staffordshire, will redefine perceptions of Anglo-Saxon England, experts predict.
"Terry Herbert, from Burntwood, Staffordshire, came across the hoard as he searched a field near his home with his trusty 14-year-old detector.
"Experts said the collection of more than 1,500 pieces - which will be officially classified by a coroner as treasure today - is unparalleled in size and may have belonged to Saxon royalty."
