The unemployed have nothing better to do than sleep, read and troll for seventh century treasures along the English countryside. Of course, after that is a Starbuck’s run.

For the jobless man living on welfare who made the find in an English farmer’s field two months ago, it was the stuff of dreams: a hoard of early Anglo-Saxon treasure, probably dating from the seventh century and including more than 1,500 pieces of intricately worked gold and silver whose craftsmanship and historical significance left archaeologists awestruck.

One word man; eBay. You are never gonna get the actual price from all these stuck up hob nobs. List it right between your last pair of underwear and unused toothbrush. Yes, they ALL have bad teeth. Don’t you watch the BBC?
