A PORTLY pig with flatulence triggered a minor emergency near Bendigo this week when smells wafting from the 120kg porker sparked fears of a potentially dangerous gas leak.

Two Country Fire Authority tankers and 15 firefighters turned out in darkness to search the source of the leak at a property at Axedale, east of Bendigo. But the likely culprit was soon sniffed out, the pet sow startled from slumber in the dead of night.

"She got very excited when two trucks and 15 firies turned up and she squealed and farted and squealed and farted," said fire chief Peter Harkins.

AN Anglo-Saxon treasure trove found by a man with a metal detector in an English field has been valued at £3.28 million ($5.89 million).
The money will be split equally between Terry Herbert, who unearthed the Staffordshire Hoard in July, and landowner Fred Johnson.

The hoard comprises more than 1500 mainly gold and silver items thought to date back to the seventh century and is the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found.

The valuation by the independent Treasure Valuation Committee was announced today.

The two men and the two museums hoping to acquire the hoard, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, all approved the sum.
