Fool’s Gold at The Old Stables

🔍 Explore a captivating tale of discovery!
In 2015, metal detectorists George Powell and Layton Davies stumbled upon a remarkable Viking hoard of silver coins and intricate gold jewelry near Leominster, Herefordshire. This major find is believed to reshape our understanding of English history, as it originates from the formative period of England as a nation.

🕵️‍♂️ Despite the significance, the duo concealed their treasure rather than reporting it as mandated by law. Their attempts to sell it illegally led to scrutiny, ultimately resulting in prison sentences for them and their accomplices.

🎤 Dr. Gareth Williams, a former curator at the British Museum and an expert witness in this high-profile case, will share the riveting inside story of how the authorities tracked down the hoard and the treasures it contained. Discover why this historical find holds immense importance for English history!
