Showed the hobby in an excellent light. 40 000 people attended the museum before the finds were taken to London for further analysis. I'm glad I Sky plussed it so I can watch it again. Some of the artefacts were just breath-taking. Well done the BBC!

Joking honestly! They said it was a text book example of metal detectorists and archaeology working in harmony. Title: Re: BBC NEWS 4:30 STAFFORDSHIRE HOARD Post by: SimonH on December 31, 2009, 05:38:06 PM For those that missed it. You can watch it here ;D
