The anniversary of the discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard in a field in the county in July 2009 has been marked this week by a BBC programme and podcast.
The BBC World Service's Witness show looked at how the find came about and what happened after it was revealed to archaeologists and then the wider public.
They've been speaking to Terry Herbert who found the treasure and archaeologist Dr Kevin Leahy who examined the hoard.
