Fragments of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver have been found in the same field that the Staffordshire Hoard was discovered three years ago.
Although archaeologists excavated the field after the find by a metal detectorist in 2009 and declared the dig closed, a further 90 pieces have been recovered after ploughing.
There will be a treasure inquest by the local coroner this month, which could help determine if the finds are related to the original hoard.
The original hoard of more than 3,900 items was valued at £3.3m by independent experts making it the most valuable treasure discovery ever made.
More than £900,000 was raised through public donations. A programme of conservation and research work is now being carried out by staff at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, in Stoke-on-Trent.
