The latest find includes parts of a helmet. The team has been using x-ray images to piece together objects they find.
The two men who fell out over £3.3million after finding Saxon treasure could scoop another fortune - after more artefacts were found in the same field.
The original finders of the Staffordshire Hoard, Terry Herbert, 57, discovered the ancient gold and silver haul on 68-year-old farmer Fred Johnson's land three years ago.
Their find, dubbed the Staffordshire Hoard, was sold to museums after becoming an international sensation after the discovery on July 5, 2009 - leaving the men rich. But the duo fell out over the cash, with Terry claiming Fred wanted it all for himself. He even said his find of 3,900 artefacts - Britain's largest ever haul of Anglo-Saxon treasure - was a curse and blamed it on ruining his friendship with Fred. But yesterday it emerged the pair, who have not spoken since their rift, are set to earn hundreds of thousands of pounds more after 90 gold and silver items were unearthed close to the original find.
Experts are currently examining the finds and South Staffordshire Coroner Andrew Haigh will rule at an inquest on January 4 if the pieces are part of the Anglo-Saxon collection.
If they are ruled to be from the same collection they will be officially declared treasure before being valued.
The proceeds from the sale of the treasure will then be split between Terry and Fred.
