Britain Stolen Hoard

A coin that was part of a $4 million Viking hoard that metal detectorists George Powell and Layton Davies have been convicted of stealing. Two amateur British treasure-hunters were imprisoned Friday for stealing a hoard of 1,100-year-old Anglo-Saxon coins and jewelry valued at millions of dollars. Experts say the hoard, much of which is still missing, could shed new light on a period when Saxons were battling Vikings for control of England. (British Museum via AP)
