Amazing Archeology Discovery

My husband found this terrific site for an archeological discovery of a hoard of Anglo Saxon Gold in Staffordshire here. I found the pictures to be very inspirational for me as an artist and jewelry maker. Here are a few of them from the site They are all from the portable antiquities' photostream, and are copyrighted by individual artists as listed on that site.
