This man found millions of dollars worth of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver on a farmland!

On 5 July 2009, a man named Terry Herbert was searching a recently plowed farmland near Hammerwich, Staffordshire, with a metal detector. While searching, he discovered gold artifacts buried in the land. Within the next five days, he discovered 244 gold items and decided to contact the Finds Liaison Officer for the Staffordshire and West Midlands Portable Antiquities Scheme.

After obtaining permission from the land owner, Fred Johnson, an excavation was done in order to find the rest of the hoard. In 2009, more than 1,300 objects were recovered. On 25 November 2009, the Treasure Valuation Committee valued the hoard and found it to be worth £3.285 million. The Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery jointly acquired the objects and paid both. Terry Herbert, the finder of the hoard, and Fred Johnson, the landowner, the full value of the hoard.
