Has anyone been to the Nat Geo Museum in DC yet to see the exhibit?

If so, please post your impressions of the exhibit and advice to those
of us who are planning to go.

Many thanks,
Svana

Noble friends,

The November issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine has a marvelous 
article on the 7th century Staffordshire Anglo-Saxon treasure hoard. It 
is illustrated with artist's conceptions of who might have left the 
treasure, as well as glorious photographs of the actual objects. This is

a story not to be missed.

The NG web site has a brief contemporary video on metal detectorist 
Terry Herbert, who found the hoard in a field:
