You know the people you see waving metal detectors along the beach? Once in a while they make real discoveries. Like Terry Herbert who found the 1.500-piece Anglo-Saxon Hoard in Staffordshire, England. What a thrill that must have been.
The New York Times reports:
"Tentatively identified by some experts as bounty from one of the wars that racked Middle England in the seventh and eighth centuries, they included dagger hilts, pieces of scabbards and swords, helmet cheekpieces, Christian crosses and figures of animals like eagles and fish."
