In July 2009, Terry Herbert was enjoying his hobby of metal detecting on a Fred Johnson’s field in Staffordshire, England. Based on signals from his metal detector, he discovered the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found. Known as the Staffordshire Hoard, the treasure was valued at just over $5 million dollars.

Could you find treasure? Get your hands dirty with an interactive excavation experience at the National Geographic Museum’s Family Archaeology Workshop. Come experience the joy of discovery!

This workshop is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Anglo-Saxon Hoard: Gold from England’s Dark Ages.

Advance registration is required
