The Artifacts


The hoard included 3,500 coins, 300 sword hilt fittings, 92 sword-pommel caps, and 10 scabbard pendants. There were three religious objects in the box that seemed to be only nonmartial pieces. Many items in the treasure were broken or bent in some way. Despite that, the Staffordshire Hoard discovery is thrilling and historic but above all, it was a mystery. Nobody could tell why this treasure chose Terry and why spoiled their life.
