Well, almost. Chances are you've heard.
And this time, there was no deception involved. (Pity about the damage
by the plow, however.)

LONDON, England (CNN) -- A man using a metal detector in a rural
English field has uncovered the largest Anglo-Saxon gold hoard ever
found -- an "unprecedented" treasure that sheds new light on history,
archaeologists said Thursday.
A gold strip with a Biblical inscription was among the 1,500 pieces
unearthed in an English field.
The hoard includes 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of gold and 2.5 kilograms
(5.5 pounds) of silver. That is more than three times the amount of
gold found at Sutton Hoo, one of Britain's most important Anglo-Saxon
sites, said the local council in Staffordshire where the latest haul
was found.........
