£1m hoard of Iron Age jewellery found in Scotland

Filed under Attractions, Miscellaneous

David BoothA warden at Blair Drummond Safari Park found a £1m hoard of Iron Age jewellery just days after taking delivery of a new metal detector.  Just seven paces in to his new-found hobby, David Booth unearthed four 2,300-year-old torcs made of pure gold, a hoard which The Times is describing as the most significant discovery of Iron Age metalwork in Scotland.
