It would really be something to find another hoard that would compare to the Staffordshire hoard and makes you wonder how many more lay waiting. If it does compare to Staffordshire I suspect that metal detector sales in the UK will jump 1000%. Thanks for posting this Alan.

Have any relatives with detectors there? You might have a very rich 3rd cousin twice removed, who you never met before, but is your best buddy. :yes:

Update

It seems it is a hoard of around 4,000 bronze coins, so not worth "millions"
Still nice to find though.
