Yes, I watched with amazement as these Anglo Saxon gold and gems were dug out from the earth. All were literally embedded with earth in every nook and cranny and had been there in that state for centuries and had survived intact! However, we now see them being handled with white cotton gloves, just as we would handle delicate antique lace/fabric. Handle with care yes, but I feel the white cotton gloves are a bit of a joke!
