“Those pieces are in remarkable condition, unless they are very small pieces, and easily concealed from erosion.”

Well, gold doesn’t corrode, so it’s not uncommon for gold ornaments to be the best preserved items in any kind of find. I can’t imagine they were buried too deeply, considering that the water table in the Netherlands is usually not that far below the ground.

Thanks. That’s good information. So gold does not get old.
