I don't really get into archeology much, but this is cool stuff. A guy in England with a metal detector found a hoard of 7th century gold military artifacts in a random field. The pieces are extraordinary.
Anglo-Saxon helmets are very rare - only four helmets like the one from which the above cheek plate is taken have survived. Despite the intricate artwork, this helmet would have been used in battle, the decoration marking out the wearer's status.
