Bid to keep treasure together
The archaeologist who helped uncover the original pieces of the Staffordshire Hoard has welcomed a campaign to bring new finds back to the West Midlands.
Could there be even more 'treasure' in the field?
The curator of the Staffordshire Hoard says the latest find is extremely exciting.
The 90 pieces were discovered after a field in Hammerwich was ploughed, the same field where the original hoard was unearthed in 2009.
Could there be more treasure there waiting to be unearthed?
