Since it was discovered by a metal detector enthusiast in 2009, the Staffordshire Hoard has captured peoples' imaginations.

Over 3,500 pieces of Anglo-Saxon treasure were discovered in a farmer's field and the quest to try and work out the mystery of how and why it ended up there began.

A new BBC TV programme, hosted by historian Dan Snow, tries to unravel the secrets of the hoard.

I liked the bit where he said "I had told him no, SIX TIMES". So a tip for all us detectorists do not take no for the final answer until you have asked at least seven times.  ;D ;D
