GOLD HOARD PICTURES: Largest Anglo-Saxon Treasure Found

Amazing what can be found with a simple metal detector…

The Dark Ages? Why Anglo-Saxon gold find means we must reassess period

Interesting article. It seems as if this British writer is honestly seeking for a sense of his civilization’s past.

Gold, bleh. I’d be more impressed by a well designed city and works of bronze and stone.

The craftmanship is impressive, and I’m honoured by that. But gold… bleh.
