Old Soldier Hits Gold

« on: March 08, 2011, 09:48:05 AM »

Former soldier Jim Belk has described the moment he found part of a gold Anglo Saxon sword while out hunting with his metal detector.

Mr Belk, 76, of Esmead, Chippenham, said: “I was in total disbelief.

“I was just so shocked. It is absolutely the most significant thing I have uncovered.”

He found the gold pommel – part of the hilt of the sword – last September in a field in Cricklade, which he had permission to search
