An unemployed British brought to light by the help of his trusty metal detector is the most important Anglo-Saxon archaeological treasure ever discovered. In July, while in the English county of Staaffordshire patrolled the camp of a friend, Terry Herbert, 55, stumbled into 1350 gold and silver dating back probably to the seventh century. The discovery, whose importance is comparable to that of the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, contains about 5 kilograms of gold and 2.5 silver and a large quantity of precious stones, its evaluation will require a year.
