Is this a different horde than the Staffordshire horde? It's pretty cool that so much is coming to light.

Yes, this is a different find -- "only" four pieces of jewelry, where the Staffordshire find contained no jewelry at all. Interesting read, skauwt, thanks!

yes this horde was from Stirlinghire Scotland a fair wee bit away from Staffordshire England ,
its amazing what these guys find though im split in two about metal detectorists granted they find some great items but on the other hand alot of valuable archeology has been lost from those who loot the items rather than let the specialists know where they found them........ but i guess not all metal detectorist are like that as the story goes to show
