I knew I wanted to find something unique for AGNADL's 300th posting. Yep, this is posting number 300 since I started this blog on President Obama's inaugural day. When I opened my daily news email from the BBC, I knew that I had struck gold, literally. It seems that some bloke in Staffordshire, using a metal detector on a friend's farmland, discovered an ancient Anglo Saxon treasure trove. Its value has not yet been determined, but it will belong to the crown since it has been declared treasure. Its worth is likely to be in the seven-figure range. In addition to the monetary value, the treasure should yield a lot of historical information about the Anglo-Saxon period in England.
