Anglo Saxon treaure hoard found in Staffordshire field

[rw5791]

english have german dna so why they carpet bomb their ancestors.

Forget about the celts,they were a bunch of pussies.

The german tribes wiped out 3 roman legions to the last man.You think the faggot celts could have done that?.................no,of course not.

So embrace the german blood flowing in your veins,don't deny it.

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

I reckon, it was stripped by the owners, as they were on the way to a battle they knew they were going to lose, but HAD to defend. They stripped it, intending to return in the likelihood that they won

[vikibell2006]

You anglo-saxon this WENDS. We living and comming cambeck.

greting

[joefrench555]

did the man who found it get paid? i hope he did otherwise people will keep what they find in future

[stealth1692]

@joefrench555 id keep it no matter what people pay me

[joefrench555]

@stealth1692 id just keep 1 bit so i still get the money but get to keep a bit of history. not keen on gold rather have the money lol

[knighterrantfilms]

Property of their queen, eh? Did she find it? Amazing stuff though: I'm sick of people calling it the dark ages... it was the age of metal!

[mystuff187654]

this is my history yay XD

[ChevalierrBayard]

An Anglo-saxon hoard or an hoax?

This journalist is taking for granted that this treasure is anglo-saxon but on what is it based? the scripture on one of the peace is written in latin.

We can read "...Dissipentur" and "fugiant qui oderunt".

It is a part of the roman missal (religious book).

It is more probably a treasure of war broad back after a victory against the Celtics.

For sure it has not been crafted by Anglo-saxon.

[bingbing770]

you have to see also in philippines surigao treasure about 400kls. gold tresure in 10century or more less thats why spanish want atay philippines in that time

[piratevremeni]

Anglo Saxons were and are the most powerful all over the world. Respect to them

[knighterrantfilms]

@piratevremeni What? You moron...

[StueyLestrange]

Don't get me wrong but this land is by her rights, the Queens land. No one truly 'owns' a house, it belongs to her. I'm not a royalist..or a parliamentarian (fuck that shit) i'm a reenactor with a keen interest in Anglo-saxons/vikings around the 10th-9th century. If i was that farmer i'd keep a small token the rest can go to a museum..or the Queens personal 'mine' stash.

[ThomasRowsell]

she has no anglio saxon heritage, she has no right to the land. the original anglo saxon kings were justified, the first one traced himself as 4 generations after the king of the gods Woden, so the line of kings was one of divinity. ER is a foreigner, and hger religion is foreign, the treasure belongs to england

[StueyLestrange]

@ThomasRowsell To be honest, caring how i do

about our history i dont care about the royals

your right though..did you see that BBC drama '1066'?

well I was a reenactor in that and we used to discuss this all the time

who truly owns these things..atleast its being enjoyed by all in a museum

but i'd still be tempted to keep a bit hehe..Tom, your spot n :)

[ThomasRowsell]

@StueyLestrange

she isnt even norman tho, she is german. tbh i dont care either, she is good for tourism, and as long as the "treasure" can be seen in thre museums, its ok by me

[SplittingTheAnvil]

@ThomasRowsell

Haha! You do know this treasure is actually the treasure of Christian Anglo -Saxons? Dont you?

So i guess with your logic, this treasure, along with the anglo saxons of that time must be foriegn also. Nice typical bigotry from yourself, not that i didnt expect that, but you could have at least researched on the find before shooting your mouth off at who has more rights.

[ThomasRowsell]

@SplittingTheAnvil

i said i didn't care but since you brought it up...

the monarchy in britain traces its linet back to jesus christ, this was a tradition continued from pagan days when descendency from woden determined anglo saxon monarchy. yes anglo saxons were foreigners but they were the ones who established england as a nation,

i am not anglo saxon, i am part celt, part jew and part norman so please don't claim i am bigoted because you lack both common sense and a sense of humour

[SplittingTheAnvil]

@ThomasRowsell

well you said that christianity and the queen are both foreign so the gold doesnt belong to england, yet the gold was made by anglo saxon christians, so i just dont get were you're going with that idea.

and what are you trying to say? that anyone who doesnt have anglo saxon blood is a foreigner? and you are shocked when i said that you were a bigot? come on.

the queen most likely has anglo blood, but whether or not its important is down to you, obviously to you it is.

[ThomasRowsell]

@SplittingTheAnvil

ok - what i am saying is that england is foreign - it is an imported nation - it replaced the crumbling roman colony of britannia. (i was being ironic because the queen is german and anglo saxons are originally from germany too) plus the divine right of our monarchy is a reference to pagan divine rights.

my only sincere point in this charade is that despite the fact we have an illegitimate monarchy claiming treasure - i dont give a fuck, cos they make tourist money for us,

[celtic4ever18]

@ThomasRowsell germanic  not german

[knighterrantfilms]

@ThomasRowsell They won't make money for you for long... democracy comes to all

[knighterrantfilms]

@ThomasRowsell A monarchy is to brainwash the masses and keep them in that state, wacko... most proper countries have got rid of it by now.

[devinhalo]

this is so stupid the "queen" owns it all because it is tresure how stupid! A man found this on a friends land they should own the tresure FUCK THE QUEEN

[hetrodoxly]

Where do you get your information from? it will be retained for the country so it doesn't disappear into a private collection or even worse melted down, the finders get full market value (£3,000,000 in this case) it will be on display in a museum for the whole world to see free of charge and even more important is it will be available for scholars to study.

[TheMattyavfc]

Nutter alert

[hollywoodisbad666]

ISRAEL FOREVER we will dominate the world after usa like usa after britain

[rugbyboy198127]

@hollywoodisbad666 haha hehe really? i doubt it mate... Israel would collapse over night if usa and britain pulled the plug... you guys are really pushing your luck right now... actually your behaviour is awful and most people in britain are not blinded by the propaganda - we know what is going on in the middle east and we really don't approve... usa is nothing without britain and niether is europe... biggest mistake in history was to give you guys a 'homeland' in the 'holyland'... you are crazy

[sexyleog7o]

what kind of writing is that on there? anyone know?

[FatherFalcone3]

well, it's not runes, I'm guessing it's an early form of the English alphabet, still retaining some of its runic characters.

[denbou78]

WoW it is amazing

[penfolduk78]

no it's not

[opalfruit999]

Anglo saxons 1500 years from England to the moon. Beat that penfold. the rest of the world is full of people living in their own filth, who all want to get to Anglo saxon lands. Guess our filth is dirty old money.

[penfolduk78]

haha, yea they want to get to england because they know they can just sit back and relax, have loads of kids safe in the knowledge the ZanuPF NuLabour party will provide for them whilst taxing the middle class. my parents came to England from Pakistan 30 years ago to make a better life for themselves, they worked from the cotton mills to where they are now. England was once great, it isn't anymore it's the shithole of Europe, thank your zionist masters for that.

[hetrodoxly]

Your parent were allowed to come to the UK and make a better life for themselves and you have only contempt, people like you make me sick.

[penfolduk78]

my parents were allowed to come here to work in jobs that were considered beneath the average englishman, however i am grateful for the opportunity but when i look at what england has now become it makes me sick, not because i hate the country it's because i love it - i wouldn't expect someone like you to understand, your comment hints of underlying racism.

my great grandfather fought and died for the england, i used to be proud of that, not anymore, england is just a tool of the zionists now.

[One5thOfWhiskey]

I'm glad the old fellow's hobby was metal detecting. This is truly amazing. . . I only wish we knew when it was buried, why it was buried and by whom. (Perhaps asking too much. lol)

[MikeofWyoming]

It was the leprichans....LAX screens for them now because one was loose in LA taking teeth and hubcaps.

[DistortedAudio]

Not sure why the rights would be tossed over to the Queen, but if the owner of the property and finder of these items are cool with it.. Then i guess we all got to be cool with it.

[afertyus1000]

who says he's cool? i doubt it,it's disgusting the queen should have it she is not genuine monarchy anyway,read about the true one

[rugbyboy198127]

@afertyus1000 whoever sits upon the thrown is the monarchy mate... if you long for an english (anglo-saxon) king, then you need to go back 1,000 years to find the last true english king and even that is after the Roman empire... so saxons don't really belong to this land anyway... the queen will distribute to museums etc and other than a richer trophey cabinet the royals won't benefit directly... we as a nation will benefit by having these beautiful items on public display... what's your problem

[Bloodlovefreak]

What is the big deal? The Chinese, Indians and Egyptians had far better works of gold at that period of time.

[SGTLEBAR]

There is not much anglo-saxon work that has been found, until now.

[penfolduk78]

it's a big deal because this is about as good as it gets for england, at that time most englishmen were walking around in their own filth infected with numerous diseases

anglo-saxon history doesn't even begin to compare with the rest of the world

[Bloodlovefreak]

To be fair, the findings are quite good as far as European treasure goes, but I have seen Tang dynasty gold (around the same time these pieces were made) in museums that are far more advanced and better preserved.

[adventussaxonum]

I think that description would apply to the vast majority of people everywhere in those days. Still does in many parts of the world.

Good to see that you have positive attitude to your "own" country.

[hetrodoxly]

Bull5hit.

[Tavildara]

The guy that calls himself is Anglichanen is an ignorant buffoon. There are no rubies in this work, they are garnets from Europe. Why post remarks that just make you look stupid. Also, I think you'll find that most people who found ancient gold in Britain would not be as stupid as 'Anglichanen' and melt it down for the scrap value. Another daft comment from a daft individual

[a0e0roberts]

we agree there are no rubies here. but when I was looking at similar items in the British Museum, I read that the garnets all came from what is now Afganistan! Now THAT's a trade route. Of course the silk road would go through there, but not for a while.

[Anglichanen]

its true that they need to reward the finder and landowner and not the queen as otherwise precious finds like this would be melted down and just sold as standard weight gold. There probably have been many finds like this but most probably in most cases the finder would have taken what they found and sold it for its value in weight after melting it down

[Anglichanen]

its designs are truly breathtaking and great work of art. To think that the rubies were from Sri Lanka and gold from the Greek empire area prooves that international trade was going on way back then. So this is a Brittish design on jewels and gold from overseas

[017524062]

It doesn't belong to the Queen in any real sense - it belongs to "The Crown", which really means that it belongs to the nation. It will be paid for by a museum and the finder and the land owner will each get 50% of its value. A commitee of experts will determine the value - at the moment we know it will be between £1million and £10 million. This system is to protect artifacts of major importance like these and is fair to the finder and landowner.

[penfolduk78]

yea yeah yeahhh! you fink you nose everyfink dontcha? well use dont nose nuffink OK!

[hetrodoxly]

Could you write that in English?

[penfolduk78]

no i couldn't

[hetrodoxly]

Sorry i thought you were in the UK, good try.

[penfolduk78]

all this crap was brought on sale from poundland by the english heritage foundation to try and drum up some tourism business

[TheSecondCrash4563]

Penfolduk78 Fuck off this ain't your History fucking Cunt bloody bragging about England is a Shit Country if you don't like it overhere Fuck off to where you come from, The Old Treasure is part of English People not you so i don't why your moaning Your Parents made a fucking Mistake coming over then thats Tuff your gonna have live with it Fucking Paki.

[penfolduk78]

whoohoo, the village idiot found his way onto the internet! hello thesecondcrash4563

stuff these little pieces of crap up your arse, it's remarkable only because people had such low expectations of that era, on a world stage it means nothing.

as for 'fucking off ' to where i come from - i've already left england you idiot, i've left it to the dregs of society like you. enjoy rotting in your third world country.

[TheSecondCrash4563]

Makes it good for all us you can stuff the pieces of your shit up your arse fucking Twat your the dreg in society and enjoy being a Fucking Bastard as well.

[jeremyyfzwaters]

@TheSecondCrash4563 you ppl use bad wods way to much just saying

[TheSecondCrash4563]

Fair enough

[gurl1687]

Wow :o

[honkycabbit]

0:42 What does it mean it belongs to the queen? First of all the guy found it by his self. It should be his and only his plus that other person that helped him, 50/50 What ever happened to "finders keepers?" The guy should get a selling price to the museum not just a finders award.

[westsidestory23]

"What ever happened to "finders keepers?" what are you, eleven? this is royal tradition spanning centuries, good luck changing that! besides, theyre letting the farm owner and the finder split the profits from the sale to the museum 50/50. where did u get a 'finders fee' from? all ive heard is that they r selling it to a museum and splitting the profits in half between the finder and the land owner.

[laochda]

Under the law if something was deliberately hidden it is classified as treasure and belongs to the queen. If it was, 'lost' then it is, 'finders keepers.'

[a0e0roberts]

It is tricky and often has to be thrashed out by lawyers. If an object is offered up to the gods or put in a grave, then it belongs to the crown. If something was buried in the back yard until the bandits have gone (and never reclaimed) I think it's a split between the property owner and whoever found it. It's hard to prove that someone meant to come back later and never did, though.

[0password0]

hes getting money for it and lol yeh its silly that it belongs to the queen !!

[honkycabbit]

Man that lucky guy.

Mister hold onto that stuff and watch out!

Everybody from the government, to religous, to charities, scams etc will be knocking on your door!

[fathomband]

Far-fetched treasures were piled on him, and precious gear. They said that of all the kings upon the earth he was the man most gracious and fair-minded, kindest to his people and keenest to win fame.

[chosebinne]

Hope the guy who found it gets a massive reward!!!!

[TheREALJudgeJUDY]

incredible : )
