Yeah, I linked the BBC Article to Feldoon this morning, since it's a bigger find than than one in Suffolk back in the late 1930s.

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.
