He says he has been looking for for a find like this all his life, and pretty amazing it is too. He and the Landowner look set to receive a seven figure sum from the crown, and it will be available in museums eventually for us all to wonder at...Brilliant Eh ?
My favourite piece so far is this gold strip which carries the Latin inscription: "Rise up O Lord, and may thy enemies be dispersed and those who hate thee be driven from thy face." It has two sources, the Book of Numbers or Psalm 67, taken from the Vulgate, the Bible used by the Saxons.
i think it just shows how valid the inscription is in this day and age too....
