@caitlinrgreen This one has scrubbed up well. I was there when it was found and it was so exciting to see it.pic.twitter.com/PhtXP21Ob7
@TomRedmayne1 wow, that's amazing, and lively 'before' pic, thank you!
@KevinLaGree Sure, give me two minutes and I'll post a link with all the finds on :)
@caitlinrgreen I can see how smiths could be be considered magicians
@bxknits Oh, totally agree---it's amazing stuff!
@caitlinrgreen They are very beautiful. They must have taken a great deal of time & effort making them & been very skilful.
@EquineAnn The Kentish material is really quite astonishing in its beauty, and I love the coincidence of the place-name!
@caitlinrgreen It is indeed. It is astonishing how they didn't have our technologies & many of us today would find it hard to replicate.
@caitlinrgreen no-one does bling like the Saxons
@caitlinrgreen @AlfredTheOK .................................................................That'll be English then :D
@caitlinrgreen the buckle pair is beautiful I had never seen it before
