Owen thank you so much for that link. I am really down on all the utube so called how to do anything videos that show poor technique and lack of fundementals such as shop layout and personal safety. Nice to see it done and really done well. Thank you!

Very nice video and a fantastic seax at the end.

That saxon horde was an incredible find. I remember seeing it on the bbc news website and couldn't believe Time Team weren't all over it like a rash. Great to see the work of someone from hundreds of year ago re-emerge from the ground and then be recreated by a modern smith.

    Lost Gold of the Dark Ages

    Lost Gold of the Dark Ages chronicles the amazing story of how an amateur metal-detecting enthusiast discovered a gold hoard of more than 1,500 artifacts dating back a millennium, and valued at over $5 million. The importance of the discovery is comparable to finding Tut's treasure. To solve the mystery of where the gold came from, to whom it belonged and why it was buried, historians take us on a journey back into the Dark Ages.
