A few weeks ago the news that a hoard of Saxon Gold had been found on a Staffordshire farm was everywhere. After being displayed in Birmingham the treasure is now being valued at the British Museum, but both the archaeologist and the farmer will be well rewarded. The farmer, Fred Johnson has given his first interview about the find and the thing that struck me most was that he's worried that the money, estimated to be at least £½ million, will affect him negatively! Now that's a worry I'd like to have!
