I noticed in one of the news stories that the metal detector hobbyist did the first part, then the archaeologists came in and recovered the rest, so maybe it was not all destroyed.
I have not seen anything yet on the context, whether it was a homestead or not? Since it appears to consist of items stripped from armor by victors after one or more battles, it may just have been stashed in a hole and they never got a chance to collect it.
I'll be curious too, to see what the archaeologists learn.

I don't suppose the site is intact enough for archaeologists to
investigate? I fear the metal detector club would have ripped up all the property in
search for more goodies. But I eagerly wait to hear something of the soil
context of the hoard. Was this a building site?
