Quoted by Heritage Dilly; During a gathering of the Ninth Group of Explorers in the West Wiltshire, England, Paul Gold and Christopher Phillips were able to find two golden works from the Anglo -Saxon era, which British Heritage officials recognized as “national importance”.
Paul Gold pulled out a golden flat ring of garnet from the soil after a day’s return to his car. The Garnet – Popular stone in the Anglo -Saxon jewelry of the sixth to eighth centuries – indicates the old age of this piece.
In a short distance from the first discovery site, Christopher Phillips also found a gold -plated crow with a decorated eyes decorated with garnets and has a unique lattice elegance. Crow birds in the art of Anglo -Saxon and Nurses were a symbol of death and war and communication with the post -death world.
Due to the structural similarities and the location of the two objects, the explorers immediately stopped the exploration operation and reported the matter to the “Archaeological Finding Officer”. Both pieces have now been transferred to official authorities for more specialized reviews, including precise origin and possibility of their use in decorating drinks or armor.
