Lost Gold Of The Dark Ages

With exclusive access to one of the most important discoveries of modern times, National Geographic chronicles the amazing story of how an amateur metal-detecting enthusiast discovered a gold hoard dating back a millennium, and valued at over $5 million. The importance of the discovery is comparable to finding Tut's treasure. To solve the mystery of where the gold came from, to whom it belonged, and why it was buried, historians take us on a journey back into the Dark Ages when Christian and pagan tribes fought for control of the emerging country of England.
