“The hoard contains in excess of 1500 objects made from various metals - 5kg of gold and 1.3kg of silver - by contrast the Sutton Hoo find contained 1.66kg of precious metals.”
Just stunning.
A hunted noble burying his legacy? A bandit hiding loot while fleeing from the sheriff? A trunk falling off a royal’s carriage and being found by a peasant? Rebels? Invader?
Speculation is so much fun.
