In England, host Miranda Krestovnikoff investigates a Lincolnshire field where a metal detectorist unearthed an astonishing gold Anglo-Saxon sword handle in autumn 2002. Nothing like this has been found since the discovery of the famous Sutton Hoo burial in 1939. Miranda and a team of experts from the British Museum follow leads that take them into the realms of the Dark Ages, Saxon kingdoms, Viking raiders and serpent monsters. Treasure is everywhere --but finding it is the hard part! TVPG cc
