Huge Anglo-Saxon gold hoard found


Tis a day i be wish'n me a farmer than a pirate! Landlubbers plunder a farm field for ancient booty.

The UK's largest haul of Anglo-Saxon treasure has been discovered buried beneath a field in Staffordshire.
Experts say the collection of 1,500 gold and silver pieces, which may date to the 7th Century, is unparalleled in size and worth "a seven figure sum".
