You really can only wonder who inhabited that area and left all of that gold there. They had to be well known whoever they were. |

Does British law still go that all gold and silver found buried in the Isles goes to the crown? ...oh good, they had a handy sidebar on that. Man, that's quite a find. I wonder why the metal from the sword blades didn't last? Did they take it out before burying it? |

Usually the blades weren't noble metal IIRC, so they'd perish. |
