Need to get my metal detector out.

[Russ Jerome]

I've found some pretty cool stuff with my high end metal detector but this takes the cake:
An amateur treasure hunter prowling English farmland with a metal detector stumbled upon the largest Anglo-Saxon treasure ever discovered, a massive collection of gold and silver crosses, sword decorations and other items.

Practice around your sidewalk leading to yours and your neighbors house, people moving keys from in and out of there pockets usualy yeilds $3-4 in change, dated back to when the house was built. Sledding hills rock, watch's, rings and change. I've got a Garret GTA, stupid accurate you can tell a dime from a nickel 6" deep.

Geez. Wonder how much money that find landed him.

I wonder if he was forced to donate it to the musem. I.E. it 'belongs' to the people/country/etc.
You know how they do over there...


I've always wanted a metal detector :B

One part of me (if stateside) would want to show all the historical people, sure it would be priceless too them beyond what you and I consider "value"....the real side of me would be on Google looking for the quickest way to smelt silver and gold to perfect 10# ingots before Uncle Sam came in to piss on my parade. Atosha(s) just to name one good deed gone wrong.

whats atosha?

[Russ Jerome]

Actual spelled Atocha (I didnt think I spelled it correctly), 1700 treasure ship found by Mel Fisher. Legal battle over 40 tons of gold and silver, the movie lightly outlines it.
