Around 90 new pieces of gold and silver have been unearthed in the field where the Staffordshire Hoard of Anglo-Saxon treasure was found three years ago.
The fresh discoveries, made in recent weeks at Hammerwich, near Lichfield, include what is thought to be a part of a helmet and an eagle-shaped object, Staffordshire County Council said.
Speaking at a press conference in Stoke-on-Trent, council leader Philip Atkins confirmed that many of pieces weighed less than a gram.
Newly discovered Anglo Saxon treasure is unveiled at a press conference at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire today
90 items have so far been found, many extremely small. They include part of a helmet, an eagle and a cross.
Mr Atkins said: 'The ploughing of the same field has unearthed a small number of other gold and silver finds. 'While it is far too early to say exactly what they are, or how old they are, they are certainly interesting finds.' South Staffordshire Coroner Andrew Haigh is expected to rule whether the haul of 90 items should be declared treasure at an inquest on January 4.

The incredible 'alien' skull discovered in a Mexican cemetery: 1,000-year-old skeleton reveals bizarre practice of binding heads

It is an astonishing image that could have come straight from the plot of a Ridley Scott movie. Archaeologists in Mexico today revealed the astonishing skull of a person suffering from a cranial dis-figuration.
Believed to be 1,000 years old, the find was made near the small Mexican village of Onavas.
One of the 13 individuals with cranial deformation discovered in the cemetery in Mexico
The find is believed to be the first in the region showing the practice of binding a skull to change its shape.
'Cranial deformation in Mesoamerican cultures was used to differentiate one social group from another and for ritual purposes,' said archaeologist Cristina Garcia Moreno, director of the research project.

Top doctor warns of "apocalypse" in 20 years as bugs become resistant to antibiotics!!!!!
The drugs won't work:
The Chief Medical Officer warned the growing resistance of infections to antibiotics was becoming as big a threat as terrorism
People could be dying of minor injuries in 20 years as antibiotics fail to cope with even minor infections.
Chief Medical Officer Professor Dame Sally Davies spelled out the “apocalyptic scenario” to MPs as she warned the growing resistance of infections to antibiotics was becoming as big a threat as terrorism.
The issue, she said, was now so serious it should be added to the Government’s national risk register of civil emergencies.
And there was a risk that within just 20 years people going for simple operations would die of routine infections because we have “run out of antibiotics that work”.
Prof Davies added: “We need to get our act together.”
Hospital superbugs like MRSA were already resistant to antibiotics, she said.
There were also fears over the drugs used to treat tuberculosis with more than 9,000 cases in Britain last year – the highest for 30 years. Globally, nine million have TB.
Prof Davies told the Commons Science and Technology Committee that a “number” of antibiotics were already useless as infections had evolved to beat them
She said: “There are few public health issues of potentially greater importance for society than antibiotic resistance.
"It means we are at increasing risk of developing infections that cannot be treated – but resistance can be managed.
“Antibiotics are losing their effectiveness at a rate that is alarming and irreversible, similar to global warming.
“I urge patients and prescribers to think about the drugs they are requesting and dispensing.
“Bacteria are adapting to survive the effects of antibiotics, ultimately becoming resistant so they no longer work.
"The more you use an antibiotic, the more bacteria become resistant to it.”
Up to 25,000 people die every year in EU countries from antibiotic-resistant infections, according to the World Health Organisation.
Its head, Dr Margaret Chan warned six months ago that we faced the “end of modern medicine as we know it” because of the crisis in antibiotics.
The Health Protection Agency said one problem was that fewer new antibiotics were being developed as pharmaceutical companies had found easier ways to make money.
