Hoard of silver coins dating from the time of the Norman conquest in the 11th century has been purchased for 4.3 million by the South West Heritage Trust .

Much of its historical value was lost the moment it was pulled from the ground, says Andrew Hammond .

Hammond: For archaeologists, the finds themselves are often less important than the context in which they were discovered.

Many countries, including Greece , strictly outlaw the use of metal detectors for treasure hunting, Hammond says.
