Terry Herbert, a 55-year-old unemployed former coffin worker, found a remarkable 1,300-year-old treasure in a field owned by a friend in Staffordshire, England using a metal detector he purchased for only three euros.

Discovered in July, Herbert filled 244 bags with some 1,500 pieces of the glimmering treasure that scholars say may shake up our understanding of Saxon Britain, according to a report by the Daily Mail.

Herbert had entered into a written contract with the landowner, Fred Johnson, agreeing to split any finds on his land.

The spectacular discovery includes early Christian crosses fashioned in gold, along with a gold bracelet with a Biblical inscription in Latin that reads: "Rise up, O Lord, and may Thy enemies be scattered and those who hate Thee be driven from thy face." (Numbers 10:35) (Photo: via God Reports)

The quotation came from Moses, when the ark set out from the camp at Sinai, and a cloud sheltered the tribes of Israel from the desert sun and a pillar of fire provided warmth and lit the night sky.

Some scholars compared the find to the Lindisfarne Gospels or Book of Kells, which are beautifully illuminated manuscripts of the four Gospels from the 8th and 9th centuries.

The gold objects found among the treasure weigh more than 11 pounds... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
