It has not yet been emptied and the first step will be to examine its contents by X-ray.Finder Derek McLennan, 47, was left speechless when he made the discovery in early September and was so emotional that when he called his wife she thought that he had been in a car accident.Within the find is an early Christian solid silver cross, thought to date from the Ninth or Tenth centuries.Read More plus SEE PHOTOS @http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2790197/metal-detectorist-finds-britain-s-biggest-haul-viking-treasure-hundreds-artefacts-including-ancient-silver-cross.html
