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.
