Anglo Saxon Treasure Haul....

Topics

I don't know why but the picture made me chuckle

The treasure's been buried in mud for hundreds of years and the guy in the picture has gloves on so as not to 'spoil' it.....

I especially like this bit

|He said: "I have this phrase that I say sometimes; 'spirits of yesteryear take me where the coins appear', but on that day I changed coins to gold.

"I don't know why I said it that day, but I think somebody was listening and directed me to it"

Nutter!

We hadc a laugh whilst watching the news. I said to Mrs Crossy, "Watch the sales of metal detectors soar!"
On our post tea bike ride we were able to see two guys out there already, searching in a field which we know had been done before, many times.

OMG, we all had metal detectors back in the 70s, but all we ended up with were bucketfuls of old pennies.
