This tale of the largest Anglo Saxon treasure hoard ever found is a must-see for the modern day treasure hunter. The unprecedented find mesmerised archaeologists and historians around the world, and made global headlines. In Saxon Gold: Finding the Hoard, we uncover the full story. Nothing like this has ever been found in Britain before -- sixteen hundred pieces of bejewelled gold and silver, buried, lost then forgotten. Discovered in July 2009 by an amateur metal detecting enthusiast in Litchfield, Staffordshire, this magnificent golden hoard is set to shed light on one of the most mysterious periods of British history. Dating back nearly 1,400 years from the mid-seventh century, everyone wants to know to whom the treasure belonged. Where and how was it made? Why was it buried? And why was it lost for over a millennium? This absorbing show answers these questions and more, as we meet the key players involved in the incredible story; from the original finder with his metal detector and the owner of the land where this superb collection was found, to the experts who realised the hoard was of international significance and the team who speedily excavated the site in secret to prevent nighthawking. The Hoard was valued at £3.3m by experts in November 2009. The Art Fund successfully led a public appeal to raise the funds and save the Hoard for posterity. The target sum was met on 23 March 2010. The Hoard will now be co-owned by Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery and the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke. For the finder his discovery has been life-changing. For archaeologists, this is just the beginning of a long journey to try and unravel the mysteries generated by the hoard of precious metal. To unlock the secrets of the Saxon hoard a further £1.7 million is needed for vital research and conservation.

I thought they said in the video that the man who found it and the farmer who owned the land split 3.285 million pounds (a little over $5 million USD) and that the museum had 30 weeks to raise the money to pay them if they wanted it. But I do think that is a conflict of interest for them to decide what the find is worth. My bet is that it's worth way more than that. Still, not a bad return on his investment of time and his metal detector.

The man who discovered the gold is an honest and noble person to let the government come in and take it all from him. He should be compensated the value of the gold for his contribution to the country. Not fuked over and left empty handed. Fuk UK government for not paying him for the find.

Id say its been there a while. It was probably buried together but years of plowing and farming activity had spread it out over a larger area.

From this documentary I have surmised that this gold was not placed here by the Anglo Saxon's. In fact it is my belief that this was an act of disrespect by the Christians. The gold was not found in a bag or in one pile it was spread over a wide area. This gold was used for what the Christians would have called a pagan god or worship and wanted nothing to do with it and scattered it as trash.
